Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Toronto harbor's a popular place. Like many people who work near the lakeshore; Christian Craigie likes to visit the waterfront; going there regularly on her lunch hour to feed ducks and gulls. Yesterday; however; the ducks were gone; their usual place unsurped by two huge ships; the Stolt Falcon (background) and the Zeus; both of them busy unloading vegetable oil into tank cars and trucks at Maple Leaf Mills. The harbor always has some foreign ships in it; giving those who study it a lesson in recognizing the flags of far-away countries. The car ferrry to the Islands continues to shuttle back and forth.

Image shows an anchor at the harbour with a ship in the background.
Anchor aground: An old anchor looms in the foreground and mist rises off the water as Toronto harbor gets an early foretaste of the quiet days of winter. The harbor was busier this year than last; but things slow down to a crawl when winter really takes hold and the St. Lawrence Seaway and Welland Canal close for the season. Shipping usually stops at the end of December.
