Summary

Prince Alfred Sailors' Home, Port Adelaide on the eve of its demolition on 17 October 1932. It was located on the southern side of St. Vincent Street on the eastern corner of Todd Street. The home was built after a suggestion from the visiting Prince Alfred. It was agreed that Captains should discharge their seamen upon arrival in Port Adelaide where they were looked after in the home and were fit and healthy to work well on the return voyage. The home was demolished in 1932 after years of disuse.
