In which strait did two cargo ships collide in an accident that postponed the election where Peter Francis Martin was elected by acclamation?
Peter Francis Martin Peter Francis Martin (January 13, 1856 – May 2, 1935) was a contractor and political figure in Nova Scotia, Canada. He represented Halifax in the House of Commons of Canada from 1917 to 1921 as a Unionist Party member. Martin was elected by acclamation in the Khaki Election of 1917; in Halifax, the election was postponed after the Halifax Explosion and Martin's Liberal opponent withdrew in a show of post-explosion unity. Martin replaced Prime Minister Robert Borden, who had run (and won) in Kings County. Martin sat for Halifax division in the Senate of Canada from 1921 to 1935 as a Conservative.
MV Cemfjord The Cemfjord was a Cyprus-registered cargo ship which foundered in the Pentland Firth off the north-east coast of Scotland on 2 January 2015. Built as the general cargo ship Margareta in 1984, she was converted to carry cement in 1998 and was en route from Aalborg, Denmark to Runcorn, Cheshire, United Kingdom when she capsized in bad weather and sank in 270 ft of water. All eight crew were presumed lost. No bodies were recovered, and the ship has been left as a sea grave.
