Natal Witness Tuesday 29th June 1880 Departure of the Empress - Her Majesty and Suite left the Point, Durban at 3 o'clock pm on Sunday in the tug and embarked on the Trojan a few minutes afterwards which then weighed anchor and stood off to sea. A large number of the leading colonists had assembled to see Her Majesty depart. His Execellency General Cliff accompanied Her Majesty to the last.
