Cape Town city and harbour from Table Mountain, South Africa.

Cape Town city and harbour from the top of Table Mountain looking north. The Molteno Reservoir and De Waal Park are in the foreground. The passenger cruise ship Franconia (1923) is alongside C Berth on the South Arm and a Union-Castle passenger mail ship, either the Arundel Castle (1921) or the Windsor Castle (1922), is alongside A Berth in the South Basin. The Municipal Pier, which was demolished late in 1939, can still be seen just outside the Random Mole.
