Notes
| Niagara Falls Heritage Foundation Government of Canada Local Initiatives Grant CK 1071-3 1977 ; Research by George Seibel ; The stranded scow lying in the Upper Rapids has been a fixture since August 6, 1918. It broke loose while being towed by the tug Hassayampa, after the tug went aground in the American Channel opposite Port Day, less than a mile above the Falls. ...a line was shot out from the top of the Toronto Power House. Attempts were made to rig a breeches buoy, but the lines became fouled and it was not until "Red Hill" volunteered his services that it was possible to bring the men Gustav F Lofberg and James H Harris to shore.
