This is MONTREAL on the Bertram ways just before her launch. At extreme left is KINGSTON, not yet completed. Another view of MONTREAL prior to launch shows her great length. Hers was the longest hull ever built in Toronto. M ONTREAL nears completion at Sorel. There is still much to be done on her but steam has been raised in her boilers.
