The Clock Tower, V & A Waterfront, Cape Town

Picture
The Victorian Gothic-style Clock Tower is an icon of the old Cape Town harbour. It was the original Port Captain's Office built in 1882. The pointed Gothic window surrounds the structure with a clock, imported from Edinburgh, as a main feature. On the ground floor is a tidal gauge mechanism which was used to check the level of the tide for ships entering or leaving the docks. And on the second floor there is a decorative mirror room which allowed the captain an overall view of harbour activities. The tower was a focal point in the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront's urban renewal programme, since when it has become South Africa’s most-visited destination.

For more ever-popular images of Cape Town, take a look in the gallery.
All works are available as high quality prints on non-archival paper or on stretched canvas. Click here for prices and note that as a result of new savings in the printing costs prints on paper have come down in price by up to 50%.

    I started my 'journey' with Scraperboard or Scratchboard Art in 1968. Since then I have been working exclusively in this medium.
