      Image shows a big anchor lying by the lake with a ship in the background.
      Soon in use will be this huge anchor; lying idle now at the mouth of the Don river. Freighter in background also spent the winter snugly in the protected waters of the river.

      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.
