About this book
Reporting from aboard the Renown, Everard Cotes follows the Prince of Wales on a long tour of Australia and New Zealand. Published in 1921, this travel account begins with journalists boarding the battle cruiser at Portsmouth and watching a ceremonial departure settle into the routines of naval life. Inspections, drills, meals and the practical workings of a large ship give the royal visit a detailed everyday setting.
On land, public welcomes share space with close attention to industry. A visit to Newcastle takes in a state shipyard, steelworks and a wire factory, with observations on wages, production and trade. Cotes writes as a correspondent who accompanied the tour, viewing its events through an approving British imperial outlook. Readers interested in travel writing or the relationship between royal ceremony and economic life can find both in his account.
