During the summer of 1930 the British dirigible R-100 visited Montreal as part of a campaign to establish a North American terminus for a transatlantic airship route. The craft was moored at the St. Hubert airfield on the South Shore. This photograph shows the dirigible passing over Dorchester Boulevard (now René-Levesque) and Mansfield. At the right is the Sun Life Building during the third phase of its expansion by the architectural firm of Ross & MacDonald. The central tower features a reinforced steel frame sheathed in grey granite rising to a height of 400 feet. It was the largest building in the British Empire at the time of construction.
