The 1755 Cape Ann earthquake took place off the coast of the British Province of Massachusetts Bay (present-day Massachusetts) on November 18. At between 6.0 and 6.3 on the Richter scale, it remains the largest earthquake in the history of Massachusetts. No one was killed, but it damaged hundreds of buildings in Boston and was felt as far north as Nova Scotia and as far south as South Carolina. Sailors on a ship more than 200 miles (320 km) offshore felt the quake, and mistook it at first for their ship running aground. Many residents of Boston and the surrounding areas attributed the quake to God, and it occasioned a brief increase in religious fervor in the city. Modern studies estimate that if a similar quake shook Boston today, it would result in as much as $5 billion in damage and hun

  • Le Séisme de 1755 à Cap Ann a eu lieu au large des côtes de la province britannique de la baie du Massachusetts (actuel Massachusetts) le 18 novembre. Entre 6,0 et 6,3 sur l'échelle de Richter, il reste le plus grand tremblement de terre de l'histoire du Massachusetts. Personne n'a été tué, mais il a endommagé des centaines de bâtiments à Boston et a été ressenti aussi loin au nord que la Nouvelle-Écosse et aussi loin au sud que la Caroline du Sud. Les marins d'un navire à plus de 200 milles (320 km) des côtes ont ressenti le tremblement de terre et l'ont d'abord confondu avec leur navire qui s'est échoué. De nombreux habitants de Boston et des environs ont attribué le tremblement de terre à Dieu, et cela a provoqué une brève augmentation de la ferveur religieuse dans la ville. Des études (fr)
