About: Prince of Wales Obelisk

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

The Prince of Wales Obelisk in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, was erected in honor of the marriage of Prince Albert of Wales, later King Edward VII of the United Kingdom, and Alexandra of Denmark but not originally intended for them. It is thus one of the only "second-hand" royal monuments in the world. It was originally purchased for the grave of George Kemp (who died on October 15, 1852). It was later moved in front of the Bayworld museum complex. The monument is a simple obelisk carved out of an igneous rock similar to granite.
