“This day in our shipwreck and aeronautical wreck history”
1887: Jorawur, this iron sailing vessel was damaged after a storm on the 29th June 1886 and was put into in Algoa Bay in the Eastern Cape for repairs on the 9th of July 1886. By the 30th of October 1886, it was condemned and sold off. It remained lying in anchorage until the new owners could decide what they wanted to do with the condemned vessel.

During a south-easterly gale on this day, the anchor cables parted, and it was driven up on the beach where it wrecked.
