This flashback to 1936 shows the Victoria Dock in Table Bay, the northern portion of which the Railways now contemplate closing. At the East Pier is the Stirling Castle loading for Britain, at No. 7 Quay (to her left) is the Dunbar Castle, at No. 2 Jetty is the Italian steamer Sabbia engaged on the round-African service, and at No. 6 Quay on the left is the Hamburg-America line steamer, Rendsbuurg, on her way to Australia. Entering port is the African Maru from Rio, and at the South Arm is the Windsor Castle shortly before being re-engined and given two funnels. Waiting in the Bay is the Clan Urquhart, at the time one of the largest refrigerated ships in the world.

Architectural heritage: wooden casement windows in the historic St. Stephen's Church on Riebeeck Square are being replaced as part of a restoration project sponsored by the Vernacular Architecture Society.

Restoration workers, from left, Mr Kennet Plaatjies, Mr Sedick Slemming and Mr Shaheed Hendricks help conservation architect Mrs Pat Riley of the National Monuments Council size up a replacement window.
