Original Toronto Star caption: The steam powered tug Ned Hanlan is retired now; but she's not forgotten. The Toronto Historical Board wants to dry-dock the boat beside the Marine Museum at the Canadian National Exhibition so visitors can see what steamboating was all about. Setting up Hanlan exhibit would cost $50;000.
