Original Toronto Star caption: The Armorer at Old Fort William; John Robertson (pictured above); was joined by 90 other people yesterday trying to salvage rare guns and documents after last week's rains left the site near Thunder Bay under six feet of water. Here he cleans an 1800 British fowling piece but; he said sadly; We lost so much; even our prized 1796 rifle floated away.
