Original Toronto Star caption: Their task looms over them; Spring weather means spring cleaning; on land and at sea. While the Caribia; a 5;046-ton freighter of Swiss registry; is in Toronto Harbor her crew is working away. When the ship unloads her cargo and rides high in the water; two crew tackle the seemingly endless job of maintenance painting on the 495-foot freighter.
