“This day in our shipwreck and aeronautical wreck history”
1796: Crescent, this wooden-hulled sailing vessel wrecked in Simon’s Bay in False Bay in the Western Cape. Very little is known about it.
1867: Krimpenerwaard, this Dutch sailing barque wrecked during a south-easterly gale near the Baakens River mouth in Algoa Bay in the Eastern Cape. It now lies beneath reclaimed land.
1870: Martlet, this British wooden-hulled sailing brig wrecked on the rocks at the end of Eastern Pier in Port Alfred in the Eastern Cape. The wrecking was attributed to the captain becoming impatient and attempting to enter the river without a pilot.
1980: Iona 2, this South African fishing vessel foundered north of Port Nolloth in the Northern Cape.
