The harbour was commissioned to be built in Cape Town by Prince Alfred (the second son of Queen Victoria.) making it not only important to the economy but also of great historical importance to South Africa. The first Basin was then named after Prince Alfred and the second after Queen Victoria hence we get the name The Victoria and Alfred Waterfront.
