The Empire Sandy was built in 1943 on the Tyne as a tugboat. After the war it served in Canada. In the late 1970s it was converted to a schooner with three masts. See here for pictures: www.tynetugs.co.uk/empiresandy1943.html
The Toronto streetcars use trolley poles which frequently detach themselves from the overhead wires. The streetcar comes to a stop, the driver has to come out, pull on the wire and set the trolley pole on the wire again. When I was in Toronto, I saw it twice and experienced it once.
