We extend thanks to all those who brought slides. Our annual winter lay-up listing appears in this issue. We could not put this report together without the assistance of a great number of our members, and we wish to thank all those who supplied information. Any additions and/or corrections will appear in the March issue. In the New Member Department, a hearty welcome goes out to Donald G. Wilson, of Collingwood, to Capt. Ratch Wallace, of Toronto, and to Robert Jardine, of Sarnia. We are pleased to have you with us as members of the Toronto Marine Historical Society.
