Original Toronto Star caption: Sailors of all nations; like Russian merchant marine officers Khalyapin Vasiliy; left; and Kmituk Alexander; are welcomed to Toronto by Rev. Siegfried Otto; right; who runs the Lutheran Seaman's Centre at Pier 35 on the Toronto waterfront. Seamen come to talk; drink coffee; get books and make phone calls. Seamen have a bad public image; but they're shy; honest and often terrible homesick; Otto says.
