What puzzles me is, what vantage point was it shot from? Quality of the
photo hints at late 60s through 70s, and it's probably from the middle
of the river, but I'm sure there was nothing on the islands that high
(not even any of the Expo 67 buildings), nor in a position for that angle.
More likely an aerial shot. Perhaps: Air Canada's subsidiary Airtransit
ran a STOL service with Twin Otters (DHC-6-300) between Montréal and
Ottawa in '74-76' IIRC (flew it a few times myself), and the Montréal
terminal was on a converted Expo '67 parking lot. So possibly shot from
the window coming in from or going out to Ottawa?

Montréal. The cross-shaped Place Ville Marie tower, just to the right of
centre, is the giveaway; look for me in a 27th floor window :-) . Mont
Royal in the background.
Tried to find a comparable image in a quick look at Google Images, but
no luck.

and asked if I knew the name and location of the port city.
I have no idea but am wondering whether any list members might know as
well as the age of the image.
