Queen Victoria Monument

Highlight • Monument

The second oldest monument in Montreal. The depiction of Queen Victoria, which was modern at the time, is striking because of her fragility and grace, because until then rulers were portrayed as god-like beings with supernatural powers.

CNR Wellington Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

CNR Wellington Bridge is a Historical landmark.
This large swing truss bridge which used to bring trains along to the Montreal Central Station has been abandoned in the open position. Although the machinery house is deteriorated, the bridge otherwise retains integrity of original design and materials. Its presence helps provide a seldom-seen historical context to Griffintown and the Lachine Canal, both of which are now highly developed with residences. It was disused in 1970.

Peel Basin

Highlight • River

The Peel Basin played a major role in Montreal's industrial development. It was the link between inland vessels and ocean-going vessels. It took on its current shape during the 2nd Lachine Canal expansion from 1873 to 1884.
It was large enough for ocean-going vessels to turn around.
The great era ended in 1959 with the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway.
