Original Toronto Star caption: Plane raised in Toronto Harbor. A Cessna dangles from a crane yesterday after it was raised from Toronto Harbor. The float was being taxied from Hamilton Thursday and started sinking when a pontoon sprang a leak west of Exhibition Place. An off-duty policeman used a small boat to rescue pilot Daniel Auger; 44; of Oakville; who was unable to take off in Hamilton due to strong winds.
