Boston–Halifax relations : ウィキペディア英語版 | Boston–Halifax relations Relations between Boston, Massachusetts and Halifax, Nova Scotia date back to the founding of Halifax in 1749, when Boston businesses had an interest in the new settlement for shipping and fish trade. The bond between the two cities became strongest following the Halifax Explosion in 1917, after Boston sent significant aid and disaster relief to Halifax. == Halifax Explosion == On December 6, 1917 at 9:00 AM, the Halifax Explosion severely destroyed much of the city. Boston authorities learned of the disaster via telegraph, and quickly organized and dispatched a relief train around 10:00 PM that night, to assist survivors. A blizzard following the explosion delayed the train, which finally arrived in the early morning on December 8, and immediately began distributing food, water, and medical supplies. Numerous personnel on the train were able to relieve the Nova Scotia medical staff, most of whom had worked without rest since the explosion occurred.
