Ripple Rock was a submerged geological formation in the Seymour Narrows, a strait in British Columbia, Canada, known for its treacherous waters and strong tidal flows. This natural hazard posed immense dangers to navigation, with numerous maritime incidents attributed to it. The rocky outcrop rose just below the surface and featured two peaks that could inadvertently catch unaware vessels traveling through the waters, particularly during low tide. Recognizing the need to address this navigational risk, Canadian engineers embarked on an ambitious project to eliminate Ripple Rock through controlled explosions. They meticulously planned the operation, determining the necessary amount of explosives and conducting extensive tests to ensure safety and effectiveness. On the set date, an extraordinary display of engineering prowess was showcased as tons of explosives detonated beneath the waters, resulting in a calibrated explosion that safely obliterated the underwater threat. The operation combined skillful planning and advanced technology to engineer a solution that fundamentally enhanced maritime safety.
