Hero from Plymouth on his tour of Canada and the United States and had anchored at St. John's, Newfoundland in the early evening of July 23, 1860. The royal party went ashore at noon on the following day for its first of many rounds of receptions on the North American continent. On July 26, 1860, the party sailed for Halifax in Nova Scotia.
