Polson Pier Skyline Viewpoint

This guide to Polson Pier Skyline Viewpoint in Toronto traces the site back to 1886, when Scottish immigrant William Polson and his son Franklin built the Polson Iron Works here, one of the young country's few shipbuilders. It follows the yard through decades of marine engines and boilers, including minesweepers built for the Royal Canadian Navy during the First World War, before the company's sudden collapse in 1919. Best heard facing the water as the light starts to change.
