Princess Royal Harbour

Princess Royal Harbour is a part of King George Sound on the South coast of Western Australia, and harbour to Albany.

The first European to explore the waters was George Vancouver in HMS Discovery in September 1791; he named the harbour after Princess Charlotte Augusta Matilda, the first daughter and fourth child of King George III.

The harbour was surveyed by Matthew Flinders in 1802, Jules Dumont d'Urville in 1826, John Lort Stokes in 1848, and Henry Mangles Denham in 1858.

[3] The Princess Royal Harbour was the departure location for a large convoy of Australian troops in November 1914.
