Simon's Bay. The 'Powerful' lying in the distance, 1900
Scope and Contents
213 x 154 mm. A view from the shore looking down onto Simon's Bay which is crowded with craft of various sizes at anchor. HMS Powerful, a twin funnelled cruiser, lies at anchor in the centre of the shipping. The date of Powerful's visit to Simon's Town has not been established but this photograph was possibly taken during the Boer War: if so, the large ship at anchor at the right is possibly one of the vessels used for a time as a Boer prisoner of war rest camp.
