A near fine copy of this scarce 32pp. brochure to open the new Charl Malan Quay in Port Elizabeth. In the original slightly oversized wraps with consequent slight fraying of the edges. The booklet has been protected by the original tissue dustwrapper which is still present albeit somewhat frayed.
In 1933 construction of the Charl Malan Quay (No. 1 Quay, now used as the Container and Car Terminals), was completed and Port Elizabeth now had a 'proper' harbour. "It was gratifying to note that cargo was now consigned to Port Elizabeth, not Algoa Bay, and official records of freight were also similarly styled," said the President of the Port Elizabeth Chamber of Commerce at the chamber's annual meeting in 1935.
