We also learned a lot about the history of the V&A via the same type of earphones audio commentary the bus provides. A common misconception is that the name of the Waterfront is an error, and that South Africans must be ignorant of the British royal family. After all, Albert, not Alfred, was married to Queen Victoria. But the history of the Waterfront is actually connected to Victoria's son Alfred. It was Alfred who tipped the first load of stone to start construction of the breakwater on this harbor.
