In this book, author Pauline Desjardins invites us to discover the ongoing evolution of this centuries-old harbour. Thanks to her easy-to-read style and through the use of numerous and often never-before-publish illustrations, the port's former structures resume operations, the actors of everyday history come back to life, the boats of yesterday and today meet in the harbour and we realize that today's bustling activity is rootes in a rich heritage. This is an indispensable book for those who want to gain a sense of unsuspected dimensions of one of Montréal's landscapes.
