| Title |
The Engineers' Engineer: Sir John Kennedy and the Port of Montreal
|
| Abstract |
The author gives an overview and analysis of the career of Ontario-born civil engineer Sir John Kennedy (1838-1921), and comments on what Kennedy's career reveals of the professional ideals of early twentieth century engineering. Kennedy spent most of his working life as Chief Engineer of the Montreal Harbour Commission, in which capacity he oversaw the deepening of the St Lawrence River channel from Quebec to Montreal and a complete reconstruction of the Montreal harbour—two projects that essentially made the modern Port of Montreal. Kennedy also served as President of the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers (CSCE) in 1892 and is one of only six Canadian engineers to have been knighted. So well regarded was Kennedy by his peers that shortly after his death the CSCE named its highest professional award after him.
