Dec15 Montreal Quay Quayside 1919
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at The Harbour and Port of Montreal, Canada, in the winter of 1919. The scene is set against the backdrop of a frosty, snow-covered landscape, with the icy waters of the St. Lawrence River reflecting the moody, overcast sky above. The quayside teems with activity as men and women in heavy coats and hats load and unload cargo from various ships, their breath visible in the crisp air. In the foreground, horse-drawn carts and wagons wait to transport goods to their final destinations, while in the background, steamships puff plumes of smoke as they dock and prepare to set sail once more. The hustle and bustle of transportation and commerce is palpable, as the harbor and port of Montreal served as a vital gateway for the movement of goods between the United States and Europe. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the importance of maritime transportation in the early 20th century and the resilience of the people who worked in the harsh winter conditions to keep the economy moving. The image is a testament to the rich history of Montreal as a major port city and a hub of transportation in Canada.
