1955 Maple Leaf Trophy
Detroit River, Windsor, ON, June 18, 1955
 Thumbing a ride. That was the farthest from the mind of
frustrated Wild Bill Cantrell as he stood on his stranded Gale IV and watched
boat after boat go by the finish line. Cantrell came back to win the second heat of the
Maple Leaf Regatta and finished third in the finale but the honors went to Miss
Cadillac. In this shot Miss Supertest (right) and Short Circuit
zoom by the swamped Gale IV. |
