HMCS KOOTENAY gearbox explosion 50th anniversary ceremony

To commemorate 50 years since the gearbox explosion in HMCS KOOTENAY that killed 9 and wounded 53, a ceremony was held at the HMCS BONAVENTURE Anchor Memorial in Point Pleasant Park on October 23rd. 

I have written on this incident both online (here) and an expanded two-piece article (with additional content from a survivor interview) in the September and October issues of Warships IFR Magazine.





Photos of the ceremony can be found on my Smugmug website.
