Also known as the Sailors' Memorial Clock, the clock tower was built between 1919-1922 as a memorial to sailors lost at sea. Its clock mechanism is similar to Big Ben's and was known for its accuracy; sailors would often set their watches by it. The clock tower is no longer open to visitors.
The Montreal Clock Tower, also known as the Sailor's Memorial Clock, is located in the borough of Ville-Marie and is situated in the Old Port of Montreal. The construction of the tower began in 1919, and was finished in 1922. The Clock Tower is 45 m (148 ft) tall with 192 steps from the bottom to the top of the tower. It has three observation stops along the staircase and the outside walls of the Clock Tower are white in colour. The structure consists of the principal tower as well as a smaller tower that is 12 m (39 ft) and architecturally similar to the main tower. The two towers are connected by a white 13 m (42 ft) curtain wall. The tower consists of four translucent clock faces. These are each 3.7 m (12 ft) in diameter and were designed by the English engineering firm Gillett & Johnston.
