Le plus grand port céréalier du monde / The World's Largest Grain Port

During the first half of the 20th century, the port was considered by many the largest grain port in North America, and by some the largest in the world because of the sheer volume of grain passing through it. Over the years, import and export practices changed, including a shift from bulk to container cargo. The introduction of containers created challenges, particularly in terms of space, and this forced port operations to move eastward in the 1970s.
