| Otavi wreck in Namibia |
February 24:
“This day in our shipwreck and aeronautical wreck history”
1880: Svanen, this Swedish wooden sailing barque was rammed in the Table Bay Harbour in the Western Cape by the Portuguese steamer ‘India’ and although it did not founder, it was condemned because of the damage it sustained.
1932: Snipe, this steel steam-powered dredger was condemned and dismantled with the hull being scuttled in 40-meter-deep water off Durban in KwaZulu-Natal on this day.
1996: A SAAF Cessna 208A Carafan (registration no. 3010), whilst engaged in a training flight encountered technical problems in limited visibility and an emergency landing was attempted, but the aircraft’s wing struck a mountain, and it crashed near Bulwer in KwaZulu-Natal. The nine passengers and two pilots were unharmed.
