Original Toronto Star caption: Toronto welcomes first overseas ship of season; Toronto's 48th overseas shipping season opened yesterday with the arrival of the Polish freighter Zawichost. It was an early opening; but still three days short of the record set in 1966. Toronto Harbormaster John Mann presented Captain Stanislaw Stepniewski with gifts from the city. The Zawichost will unload its cargo and leave for Detroit on Tuesday. Ships flying flags of 35 nations used the Port of Toronto in 72.
