Caernarfon, The Castle 1891

More about this scene
Known today for its massive castle, one of Edward I's chain of fortresses built to subdue the Welsh, this town on the shore of the Menai Strait at the mouth of the River Seiont is now staunchly Welsh-speaking. It was formerly an important harbour, shipping a variety of goods. The massive castle, begun in 1285, remains unchanged since this picture was taken. Here, schooners, including the 'Catherine' in the foreground, lie alongside the slate quay, waiting to be loaded with Snowdon slate for transportation to Europe.
