G'day seasider and welcome to the site. An impressive list of ships there, any dates to go with them? If you list them it is quite possible you may get to hear from some who knew you. So sit back with a cold one and enjoy the voyage.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Hi Seasider
I suppose if you are living in Toronto you also go to Sunnyside on the Lakeshore.
I lived in Toronto from April 1953 to October1955. I now live in The Blue Mountains in Australia.
I have some old photos of Toronto (then population about 600.000) will post on this web.
Welcome aboard!
