The clock tower at the Old Port of Montreal, June 2011, including inside during the climb, and the view both to the West and to the East once at the top, at the end of a 192-step climb.
Completed in 1922, the 45 metre-high tower marked the entrance to the city's port and guided incoming ships, and honoured the memory of lost sailors. It also served to indicate the time in an era when wrist watches where not yet in common use.
