No, they own the lake. The city owns the land.

A little bit remains to be seen in Port Colborne. I took these photos during a drive last weekend.

A great remnant of Toronto history.
Is no one going to make rings, bracelets, trinkets from "Captain John's" remains?
I'm sure they'd be popular as curiosity pieces.
