"HMS "Galatea", the Royal Navy's latest warship in 1867, steams up Port Phillip Bay carrying Queen Victoria's son, Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, Australia's first Royal visitor. Travelling with the Prince were the Commander-in-Chief of Victoria's armed forces, Major General Sir Trevor Chute, and Lt Col. Hyde Page, Deputy Quarter Master General. Surveyor Bage in his City office, was marking out the streets of Diamond Creek when the Royal Procession passed his window. The Prince was on his way to lay the Foundation stone of the Melbourne Town Hall. Page named "Galatea", "Alfred", "Edinburgh", "Hyde" and "Chute" in honour of the visit.
The street I lived in was named after this ship, HMS Galatea in 1867.
