Montreal Clock Tower
See more from the same trip: http://trubinigor.blogspot.com/2015/03/montreal-clock-tower.html
Montreal Clock Tower (Tour de l'Horloge) is located in Quai de l'Horloge, originally called the Victoria Pier, in the Old Port of Montreal in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Overview
Also called The Sailors' Memorial Clock, the cornerstone was laid by the Prince of Wales, on Oct. 31, 1919, with the 45-metre tower completed two years later as a memorial to the Canadian sailors who died in the First World War. The original plans called for the clockworks to be connected to five bells that would chime every hour, but the carillon was never built. The clock was constructed in Croydon, England by the firm ofGillett & Johnston, and its mechanism is similar to the one that drives Big Ben at thePalace of Westminster.[1]
