Bob Chaulk has explored Halifax harbour from the Bedford Basin to Chebucto Head with hundreds of scuba dives over the last 30 years. He looked across the Narrows and found himself staring right at ground zero for the Halifax Explosion, which killed nearly 2,000 people. Chaulk drops his anchor — another diving find — near the spot in Tufts Cove where he found a much bigger anchor that could date back to the Halifax Explosion. (Nova Scotia Museum)Halifax Explosion and harbour experts CBC News spoke to agreed the anchor, which remains at the bottom of the harbour, could be an artifact of the explosion. "There's so much stuff that has been thrown overboard in Halifax harbour, there are not enough ships to carry it away," he said.
