Description
View of the underwater explosion of Ripple Rock in the Seymour Narrows, British Columbia, Canada, April 5, 1958. Located 100 miles north of Vancouver, the rock was a shipping hazard which caused over a hundred wrecks and deaths between its discovery in 1875 and 1958, when it was detonated, by Dolmage and Mason Consulting Engineers, with 1,375 tons of DuPont explosives placed in underwater tunnels dug into the rock. The photo was taken with a remote control camera placed 2,300 feet away.
