Summary

Prince Victor Albert (17 years old) and Prince George(15 years old) during the Royal visit in 1881. They sailed aboard the 'HMS Bacchante' as midshipmen in training. They crossed from Albany, WA to Adelaide on a passenger ship, travelled by land to Melbourne and then on to Sydney by naval vessel. Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale (1864-1892) was the eldest son of Albert Edward (later King Edward VII) and grandson of Queen Victoria. He died before his grandmother so never became King. He was engaged to Princess Mary of Teck but when he died of influenza she married his brother George, who became King George V in 1910.
