The Boston Molasses Flood
Hey, Folks!
Today we have a sad story from the North End of Boston.
On January 15, 1919, a molasses tank in the North End neighborhood of Boston burst open, creating a destructive wave of molasses and debris that crippled the vibrant neighborhood.
We're going to talk a little about the background of the area, the construction of the tank, and the disaster and aftermath.
