[edit] Toronto Harbour

I think something should be added about the original shoreline being at Front St. and how the harbour was filled in. I don't know enough about it to do this, and I was actually looking for that information myself. --70.29.23.252 05:59, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. The Esplanade (just below Front - at least from Yonge to Jarvis) was the wharf docks location at the time, until landfill reclamation that occurred with the re-configuration of the Don River mouth I believe it was the late 1880's? The current is esplanade is almost 2km from current queens quay docks so that it a significant change in the city's layout, maybe someone can elaborate. TO EDITOR(S): I find this history page to be discontinuous and jumps topics, maybe it should follow time continuity but without appearing like just a timeline page
