Original Toronto Star caption: A ship docks at Toronto; above; a rare happening these days as dock workers find their work days shrinking as the market closes and machinery takes over a lot of the tasks. Just 20 years ago; a ship would have been unloaded piece by piece; today; cranes can handle 20 times the load.
