==== ''Charles Henderson'' explosion ==== The port of Bari was again struck by disaster on 9 April 1945 when the Liberty ship ''[[SS Charles Henderson|Charles Henderson]]'' exploded in the harbour while offloading 2,000 tons of aerial bombs (half of that amount had been offloaded when the explosion occurred). Three hundred and sixty people were killed and 1,730 were wounded. The harbour was again rendered non-operational, this time for a month. <gallery mode="packed" heights="200px"> File:Bari explosion view from Barracks crop sm.jpg|9 April 1945 β view from the barracks.
