Boats on the Bay, 1911

Coal-fired ships on Toronto Harbour.  The ferry in the background right may be either the Bluebell or the Trillium, the latter of which would have been in service for one year at the point this photo was taken, and is still in service today.

The Eastern Harbour?

What may be a view of Toronto's Eastern Harbour, this photo begins a series of pictures of Toronto Bay from 1911.  The spire in the distance behind the white-clad building may be that of St. Michael's Cathedral, which would have been 66 years old when this was taken.  It's hard to be certain, however, given the quality of the image (and the fact that many church spires look alike).

"Get a Horse!"

Titled "Get a Horse," this undated photo shows a team of horses being used to rescue a stranded Model T.
