Just looking now:

"and, in 1890, the company opened the first explosives plant in the far west, near Nanaimo, British Columbia..."

They were here, so it appears, according to wiki. But i see nothing about an explosion so far.

Maybe you were thinking of the 1887 Nanaimo mine explosion?

well talked to Clive, my coworker. He says the ship explosion off protection was one of the same as it just got loaded at CIL right next to the departure bay ferry terminal. Went down to the beach and the concrete remnants of the structure are still there.

And yes i will find time to find the Malaspina photo's
