Description: Montreal, Quebec - CANADA - View from St. Helen's Island - River Traffic - 1907: Montreal, Quebec - CANADA - View from St. Helen's Island - 1907: Saint Helen's Island (French: Île Sainte-Hélène) is an island in the Saint Lawrence River, in the territory of the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It forms part of the Hochelaga Archipelago. It is situated immediately offshore from Old Montreal on the southeastern side of the Island of Montreal in southwestern Quebec, and is part of the central borough of Ville-Marie. The Le Moyne Channel separates it from Notre Dame Island. Saint Helen's Island and Notre Dame Island together make up Jean-Drapeau Park (formerly Parc des Îles). It was named in 1611 by Samuel de Champlain in honour of his wife, Hélène de Champlain, née Boullé. The island belonged to the Le Moyne family of Longueuil from 1665 until 1818, when it was purchased by the British government. A fort (Saint Helen Island Fort), powderhouse and blockhouse were built on the island as defenses for the city, in consequence of the War of 1812. River Traffic shown includes Barge, tugs, steamers, freighters, dredgers. This Divided Back Era postcard (1907-15) postcard, hand dated 1907 on the card's reverse, is in good condition but shows some edge wear and has lost its upper right and left- hand corner. Valentin & Sons. No. 102,117. Canadian Railway Series.
