Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Reminder of the days of sail; Into Toronto harbor sails 60-foot brigantine St. Lawrence; recalling romantic era of wooden ships and iron men. Owned by Brigantine Inc. of Kingston; it is here for a fund raising drive to build a similar Toronto vessel to train boys in seamanship and the art of handling the big ships. The ship's visit to Toronto has nothing to do with CNE.
