Original Toronto Star caption: Metro sailors run aground; The crew of the Grayling rock it back and forth as they try to free it after running aground by the dock of the Toronto Sailing and Canoe Club near Sunnyside yesterday. The crew; under Rodger Palmer; were practising for Olympic trials at Halifax in June. After freeing the boat the three completely chilled sailors took a sauna.

      Image shows an anchor at the harbour with a ship in the background.
      Anchor aground: An old anchor looms in the foreground and mist rises off the water as Toronto harbor gets an early foretaste of the quiet days of winter. The harbor was busier this year than last; but things slow down to a crawl when winter really takes hold and the St. Lawrence Seaway and Welland Canal close for the season. Shipping usually stops at the end of December.
