The Prince and Princess of Wales landing at St. Michaels Mount, [Cornwall], 1865. ...outside Marazion is the singular conical rock, or rather series of rocks, known as St. Michaels Mount...This rock, which is about a mile in circumference, and which for six hours out of every twelve is completely surrounded by the sea, is one of the chief attractions of the place...It stands proudly out of the sea as if defying all that the billows can do against it, and is by turns every day an island and a peninsula, as the tide falls and rises...it became, by purchase, the property of Sir John St. Aubyn, the ancestor of its present master. The summit is still occupied by the ancient monastic buildings, but they have been adapted to modern requirements...A guard of honour, consisting of thirty-five of the Penzance and Falmouth divisions of the Coastguard...and a detachment of the Royal Artillery Volunteers...had been posted at the approach to the landing-place. The Prince and Princess landed just inside the harbour at the same staircase...at which her Majesty and the late Prince Consort landed in 1846...The whole party were conducted by Mr. St. Aubyn up the steep way which leads to the castle. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
