Le 31 octobre 1919, son Altesse Royale Edouard, Prince de Galles, inaugure les travaux de construction de la Tour de l'Horloge. La construction de ce monument historique se termine en 1922, à extrémité de la nouvelle jetée Victoria(aujourd’hui quai de l'Horloge). La Tour de l'Horloge est érigée sous l'autorité de la Commission du Havre de Montréal. À l'origine, elle était destinée à servir de façade à des hangars et des convoyeurs à grain jugés peu esthétiques. Cette tour, munie d’un système d’éclairage électrique automatique fort sophistiqué pour l'époque, devait également jouer le rôle de phare. Les navigateurs ont longtemps réglé leurs chronomètres sur ses cadrans, dont la précision était proverbiale. 1, record 3, French, - Tour%20de%20l%27Horloge
