    This is one brilliant site. I've let a lot of people know about it. I work in a school and our kids (9/10yos) are doing WW2 next term and will be looking at the site to make them realise war affects us all, and continues to do so long after the war is over.

    "On the worst night of the Blitz, 3 May 1941, the S.S. Malakand, a steamer loaded with over 1000 tons of shells and bombs, was destroyed in Huskisson No 2 dock. It is thought a deflated barrage balloon fell onto the deck and burst into flames. As it burnt, German bombs set fire to neighbouring sheds and soon the Malakand itself was on fire. Despite all attempts to put out the fire, eventually she had to be abandoned. The resulting explosion completely destroyed the dock. Parts of the ship were thrown up to two and a half miles away. Miraculously, considering the size of the blast, only four people were killed"

    I was a young boy when a large hull plate of the Malakand was blown over a mile and sliced a house in Silvester street in two.
    At the bottom of the street the pub "The North Pole" was destroyed and on the site they built an E.W.S (emergency water supply)tank
