my "hometown" for 25+ years of my life .
picture shows the ferry docks ; the QUEEN MARY II is in drydock on the other side of the river - left side of picture , reddish funnel .
my "hometown" for the last 50+ years .
harbour is now for pleasure craft and tourships only - city hall on upper left .
when we arrived in kingston in the mid-50's it was still a busy commercial harbour for grain shipments , but after the "st. lawrence seaway" openend , ships would move directly from the upper great lakes to montreal , quebec city and oversea ports .
