Dispelling myths of the Halifax Harbour, Nova Scotia / G.B.J. Fader, R.O. Miller, B.J. Todd.: M183-2/8945E-PDF
"Halifax Harbour has many myths associated with its history and some of them are related to the geology. Here we present three of the more popular ones and the modern evidence to clarify the story. They are: that a curse has been placed on the bridges of The Narrows, that the Halifax Explosion of 1917 in The Narrows created a large crater on the seabed of the harbour, and that a tunnel was built to connect Georges island with Citadel Hill under the harbour floor"--Introduction.
