John Young Monument, Bronze monument at Old Port, Montreal, Canada.
The monument features four bronze elements on a granite pedestal, including a statue of John Young and an allegorical figure of the River God.
Erected in 1908 by the John Young Memorial Committee, the monument commemorates the first Chairman of the Montreal Port Commission who served until 1878.
Louis-Philippe Hébert created this sculpture in 1895, incorporating maritime symbols through ship prows emerging from waves on both sides of the pedestal.
The monument stands in front of the Allan Building on rue de la Commune at Saint-Pierre, following its relocation from Place Royale in 1997.
The base contains a figure of Neptune holding a bowl that functions as a fountain, representing the connection between the St Lawrence River and Montreal's port.
