Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Last hurrah: The crowd of 12;000 cheering the Canadian Coat Guard icebreaker Sir Wilfrid Laurier launched last December couldn't know that the $50 million ship would mark the end of an industry. Ships on order or under construction at Collingwood dropped from 158;000 tons in 1981 to 49;000 tons last year. This is the loss of our heritage; Mayor Ron Emo says.
