The Bathurst Explosion

Just after 11am on 21 November 1888, a sudden explosion rocked the Bathurst Basin. A high wall of flame followed by a cloud of black smoke hurled one of the crew across the harbour to land with a broken leg. What happened to the other three on board was soon to be discovered.THIS PODCASTThis podcast has been specially edited from a Bradley Stoke Radio show in Bristol, England.
