In this bay is situated Simon's Town, about twenty-three miles south of Cape Town...It is neatly built at the base of Cape Mountain, and has a naval arsenal.

The Prince landed and made a public entry into Cape Town...on the following day...The welcome which greeted his Royal Highness on his arrival, on his landing, and throughout his tour through the colony, has been of the most cordial and enthusiastic character - Englishmen, Dutchmen, Malays, Mozambiques, and Hottentots uniting in the most perfect harmony in a long series of right loyal rejoicings'.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment when H.M.S. "Euryalus," with Prince Alfred on board, enters Simon's Bay in South Africa in 1860. Prince Alfred, Queen Victoria's son and Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, embarked on a naval career at the young age of 14. During this official visit to the Cape Colony, he made a stop at Simon's Bay, an inlet on the west side of False Bay. The picturesque town of Simon's Town, located about twenty-three miles south of Cape Town, is nestled at the base of Cape Mountain and is home to a naval arsenal. This was a common port of call for homeward-bound ships from India seeking repairs. The Commander-in-Chief of the naval station resided here. Upon landing, Prince Alfred made a public entry into Cape Town the following day, where he was greeted with an outpouring of enthusiasm from the English, Dutch, Malay, Mozambique, and Hottentot communities. The cordial and harmonious reception is described in great detail in the "Illustrated London News" of 1860. This photograph is a testament to the significant impact of the young prince's visit on the diverse population of the Cape Colony.
