Original Toronto Star caption: Better late I; Tall ship Ciudad de Inca; a square-rigged brigantine built in 1858; arrived a little late for the sailpast at Harborfront last week. One reader said the tall ships were great; but the event was spoiled by the great number of smaller craft floating around in the water alongside them.
