Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: A traffic sign shows the 10;000-ton freighter George M. Carl the way to the pier at the foot of Parliament St. it was headed for when it missed a turn and went around near the mouth of the Humber; four miles from the entrance to Torontc Harbor. No one was injured when the ship grounded last night - but it still has problems: Tugs trying to pull it free fouled a line around the ship's propeller; and a diver will be neede to go down and cut the rope joose.
