Cape
Town's Victoria and Alfred Waterfront development has grabbed
the imagination of Capetonian and visitor alike. With majestic
Table Mountain as a backdrop and the unique interest of the
'working harbour', it is not surprising that the 'Waterfront'
has become Cape Town's most popular attraction. Its success
has largely been built upon local support and attracts over
a million visitors a month, of which 70% are Capetonians
The
South African Maritime Museum has the largest collection of
model ships and some fascinating artifacts. There is also
a floating exhibit, the S.A.S. Somerset.
Other
items of historical interest are the Time Ball Tower, (which
was once used by ships in the bay to set the time) and the
Old Clock Tower, built in 1887. The topmost floor housed the
clock mechanism, while the bottom floor housed the elaborate
tide-gauge operated by a float on the water below.
Cape
Fur Seals can be viewed by taking the century old Penny Ferry
across 'The Cut'.
