The meeting day itself was relatively benign, however, and a large number of members and guests enjoyed our annual theme slide show dealing with shipyards. Our thanks to all who came and brought slides to show. We extend sincere thanks to all members who have submitted lay-up lists for inclusion in this issue. Listings for some major ports were not re­ ceived in time for this issue, and they will appear in the March issue. In the New Member Department, we extend a hearty welcome to Harold Humble of Grand Haven, Michigan, to Lawrence MacDonald, of Scarborough, and to Peter Jobe, of Mississauga. We are pleased to have you with us in the To­ ronto Marine Historical Society. * * * * * * * ISSN 0318-014X
