Fort Robillard, Lachine, QC. This is about a mile down the river from the Apartment.
Lachine Canal taken in downtown Lachine. Hard to believe that my grandfather would have navigated a large boat through here comercially.
Entrance to Lachine Canal. Before the Seaway was built this was the main waterway connecting to the Great Lakes and the Ottawa River.
First Lock and Museum, Lachine QC. The Bike path crosses the river here.
First Lock 2 at Lachine QC. It used today recreationally, but my grandfather would have navigated through here often to get to the old port of Montreal.
Boat traveling westbound on the Lachine Canal beneath the Dollard Street Bridge.
Dollard Street bridge. I believe it is in this fixed position now and not operating. The bike path crosses back across the canal here.
CP Bridge crossing the St Lawrence just to the west of the Mercier Bridge. You don't get this view from the regular bike path. This is the path that branches off and follows the river shore not the canal.
       
Old Montreal. Not much traffic here, but go north a block or two and its tourist country and cobblestone.
A few shots of one of the marinas.
Victoria Bridge in the distance.
In the distance the Molson factory.
North shore of the St Lawrence and downtown looking East.
Same shot of the Molson factory, just fooling with a camera settings in these pics.
Marina looking Southeast.
Slipway as seen along the Jacques Cartier pier from afar. See earlier shot. Water looks pretty calm but in fact there is probably a 7 kt current running in the other direction.
View of the St Lawrence and the Lachine Rapids looking southward. If your wondering where the Seaway is, its not in the shot as it is behind the island in the foreground on the South shore of the River.
US pavillion stands off in the distance in this view looking across the St Lawrence River. The foreground is the channel for the Lachine Canal and it marks the begining of the Lachine rapids the barrier that prevented Jacques Cartier from sailing past Montreal.
Waterside view of Jacques Cartier bridge with the New Port of Montreal in the distance.
Closer view of the Jacques Cartier bridge. You can clearly see the amusement park at La Ronde now run by Six Flags.
Old fort tower on Ile Notre Dame.
US Pavilion is one of the remaining pavillions left standing. The St Lawrence Seaway is just behind there.
Man and his World sculpture which most of us who visited in 1967 will remember quite well although there weren't as many trees back then.
One of the few Man and his world (Expo 67) structures remaining. The Island is now a municipal park area.
Observation area across from Jacques Cartier Pier in Montreal. To the left the Lachine rapids to the right the entrance to the Old Port of Montreal and the entrance to the Lachine Canal.
Along Jacques Cartier Pier in Downtown Montreal looking north to the new Port of Montreal.
Slipway, Jacques Cartier Pier, Montreal, QC.
Back to some shots of Old Montreal.
Very early French Canadian lines the north side of the street. The old port is to the left.
If you don't recognize this its the shoebox stacking apartments of Habitat 67, on the Expo 67 site.
One of the major junctions in Old Montreal.
This shot is of the Lachine Canal Lock #2 near downtown.
