Billy and Topper watch from the Acadia: a French cargo ship loaded with WW1 explosives has collided with a Norwegian vessel in the Narrows. The explosion kills 2000 people, wounds 9000 more, and leaves the region in ruins. It’s the largest man-made blast in history... until the bombing of Hiroshima, that is. Nemo transports Billy to the end of WW2, and the start of the Cold War.
