Clock Tower, Cape Town

Built in 1882, the Dock Clock Tower and Tide Gauge House has been an icon on the docks for more than a century. This much-loved National Monument was used as the Port Captain’s center of operations until 1904, when his offices moved across the cut to the Pierhead.

Beneath the Clock Tower is a well-like shaft, which is linked to the sea by a tide-gauge mechanism. This indicates the exact state of the tide to vessels entering the docks. The second floor of the building houses the mirror room. Lined wall to wall with mirrors, this room allowed the Port Captain a 360-degree view of all the activities in the docks.
