The Prince of Wales and his party reached Prince Edward's Island by ship from New Brunswick and landed at Charlottetown in the early afternoon in the drizzling rain evident on almost all the two weeks of his North American tour so far. The usual round of ceremonies followed, including militia reviews, receptions, and a royal ball at the Provincial Building. The group departed Charlottetown on the morning of August 11, 1860 bound up the St. Lawrence for Quebec and Canada proper. They landed there on August 18, 1860. (By John Osborne)
