Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Jacques Cartier Bridge in the background.
With its powerful light, the tower also served as a lighthouse to guide incoming ships. The Montreal Clock Tower is located at the Old Port. It is a memorial for the Canadian sailors that were killed in World War I. Construction started on the clock tower in 1919 and finished in 1922. The Prince of Wales laid the cornerstone on October 31, 1919. The clock was actually made in England and its working mechanism is much like the one in Westminster’s Big Ben clock. The Clock Tower was the port’s time keeper. It was known to be extremely accurate, like the Big Ben, and sailors used it to set their watches. It was also around when pocket watches were less common. So many people used the Clock Tower to tell time, so when the clock stopped working, the port employees would show up late to work. There is a small tower next the clock tower and its style complements the larger tower. |
