Original Toronto Star caption: Open your mouth and say aah; Unloading the Swedish ship Royal is as easy as driving a car. The ship; whose home port is Goteborg; merely lowers its loading (and unloading) ramp and the cargo is then removed without the use of a crane. Here a West German-made Mercedes-Benz is driven down the ramp on to Toronto harbor's Pier 35.
