Baffin Bay Earthquake - November 20, 1933

The 1933 Baffin Bay earthquake was a 7.3 magnitude earthquake that struck Greenland
and Nunavut, and Canada at 6:21 p.m. ET on Sunday, November 20, 1933.

The main shock epicenter was located in Baffin Bay on the east coast of Baffin Island.
The shaking associated with this earthquake was only felt at the small town of Upernavik,
Greenland. The 1933 Baffin Bay earthquake is the largest recorded earthquake to strike the
 passive margin of North America and is the largest known earthquake north of the Arctic Circle.

No damage was reported during this earthquake because of its offshore location
 and the small population of the nearby onshore communities.

I didn't do much today. Pauline and Edda Mae were over. It sure was awfully hot.



July 13, 1933 was a truly historic day in the life of the resort town of Shediac,
New Brunswick, Canada. This was the day that Italian General Italo Balbo, Minister
of Aviation in Benito Mussolini’s cabinet, and his armada of twenty four Savoia Manchetti
S-55 flying boats alighted on Shediac Bay. They were on their way to the Chicago Century
of Progress Exhibition. This was the first massed flight of aircraft ever to cross the Atlantic.
