This engaging account chronicles the Australasian tour of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales as he travels aboard the battle-cruiser "Renown" alongside his entourage and several journalists. The book offers a vivid depiction of the various locations the prince visits, highlighting the ceremonial aspects of his visit and the diverse cultures he encounters along the way. The opening of the book sets the scene for the departure of the "Renown" from Portsmouth, where the atmosphere is charged with anticipation for the royal voyage. Cotes captures the initial excitement as the ship prepares to sail, detailing the bustling activity of the dock as officials and spectators gather to witness the event. The narrative shifts into the daily routines aboard the ship, emphasizing the transformation of the prince from a royal figure to an active participant in the life of the crew. The warm camaraderie and efficiency among the sailors are portrayed, along with the prince's engaging personality, as he mingles freely, participates in drills, and partakes in informal meals with the crew. This establishes a foundation for the subsequent adventures and interactions that will unfold in the various ports they visit throughout the journey.
