Original Toronto Star caption: Model-building is a relatively new hobby for 74-year-old Joseph Jeffries; he says; as he adjusts lines on 3-foot-long model of the famous Nova Scotia racing and fishing schooner Bluenose. It's on display with two other model sailing ships he built at Agincourt Public Library this month. He cut the Bluenose's canvas sails by hand; and the lifeboats can be swung out on their davits and lowered. He may build another.
