The Prince of Wales in Canada - His Royal Highness escorted to Montreal by a fleet... 1860. Creator: Smyth
The Prince of Wales in Canada - His Royal Highness escorted to Montreal by a fleet of lake and up-river steamers, 1860. The future King Edward VII visits North America. It rained very heavily all the night and on the morning of the 25th until half-past nine o'clock, the hour fixed for the Prince's landing; but just at that time the rain ceased and the sun shone out. Notwithstanding the condition of the streets, which were perfect pools of mud, immense crowds were assembled on the quays and steam-boats, while the whole of the windows from which a view of the landing could be had were black with human heads. Punctual to the hour, the Prince's boat, the Kingston, with the Prince and his suite conspicuous on deck, approached, and was saluted as it passed by the batteries on St. Helen's Island, while as it neared the wharf the crews of the men-of-war in port, the Valorous, Styx, and Flying-fish, manned the yards. Repeated cheers from the multitude on shore were heard, and the city bells commenced to ring'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Prince of Wales in Canada - His Royal Highness escorted to Montreal by a fleet of lake and up-river steamers, 1860," offers a glimpse into an historic moment in Canadian history. The future King Edward VII, accompanied by his suite, is seen making his way to Montreal via a fleet of steamers, braving the heavy rain that had persisted throughout the night. The image captures the excitement and anticipation of the crowd gathered on the quays, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Prince. Despite the less-than-ideal conditions, the streets were filled with immense crowds, and windows overlooking the landing were black with human heads. As the Prince's boat, the Kingston, approached the wharf, the city bells rang out in celebration, and the men-of-war in port, the Valorous, Styx, and Flying-fish, manned their yards in salute. The rain had ceased just in time for the Prince's arrival, allowing for a brief moment of sunshine to illuminate the scene. This photograph, taken from the "Illustrated London News" in 1860, offers a fascinating look into the grandeur and pageantry of a royal visit to Canada during the Victorian era.
