Toronto Canada September 1949

Un incendie a éclaté à bord du “Noronic”, navire d’excursion sur les Grands Lacs Canadiens, causant l’un des plus grands désastres maritimes de l’histoire, depuis la fin du Titanic. Le feu éclata tandis que 512 passagers et 173 membres de l’équipage dormaient. 112 personnes ont été carbonisées, 95 sont manquantes.

Des pompiers enlèvent les corps des victimes.

Fire broke out on board the Canadian Great Lakes excursion ship “Noronic”, causing one of the greatest maritime disasters in history since the end of the Titanic. Fire broke out while 512 passengers and 173 crew members were sleeping. 112 people were burned, 95 are missing.

Firefighters remove the bodies of victims.

It took just minutes for the S. S. Noronic to erupt into a blistering inferno that lit up the late-summer Toronto night in the early hours of September 17, 1949.

In just a couple of hours the racing, white-hot fire had claimed more than a hundred lives and gutted the ship, leaving the warped metal hull of the vast ship resting on the bottom of the shallow lake bed.

In the aftermath, the ship's crew, dangerous design, and lack of safety features would come under harsh criticism from the public and federal investigators.
