In 1999, I created SVP Productions with the desire to promote my film and musical projects online. My first project was entitled, "Walter Borden Reads Sonnets by William Shakespeare". Over the last few years, The scope of SVP Productions has broadened.
In 2008, I began working on a project on the analysis of two photographs of the blast cloud from the 1917 Halifax Explosion. The research was carried out for over a year. For those also interested in the broader history of this event, my pages are filled with links to valuable resources of information and photographs.
During this time, I discovered a fascinating book by author/historian, John Griffith Armstrong, whose book, The Halifax Explosion and the Royal Canadian Navy - Inquiry and Intrigue. This led to writing my published history entitled, Scapegoat, the extraordinary legal proceedings following the 1917 Halifax Explosion. A summary and ordering information are on my Scapegoat page.
1st. edition (2012) and 2nd. edition (2016)
