Charlottetown native W. G. MacLaughlan, a photographer and cinematographer, came to Halifax in 1914 and set up his studio on Barrington Street. Today he is best remembered for his views of Halifax after the disaster of 1917. Bedford Basin is a large enclosed bay, forming the northwestern end of Halifax Harbour. The basin is quite deep with some areas measuring several dozen metres in depth.The mud on the basin floor make it an ideal protected anchorage for the numerous ships seen in the background of this photo. In December 1917 the basin was the site of the world's worst non-nuclear explosion - generally known as the Halifax explosion.
