Description: During a winter storm in 1942, the steamship Clare Lilley ran aground while awaiting a pilot to assist in entering Halifax Harbour. The ship was fully loaded carrying steel tube, aircraft tires, a deck-load of machinery and vehicles and over one thousand tons of munitions including small grains of smokeless propellant called cordite.Most of the valuable cargo, including the machinery and vehicles, was salvaged immediately but most of the munitions were left to sink in the hold of the ship.
