“This day in our shipwreck and aeronautical wreck history”

1892: Noatun, this wooden Norwegian barque was lost in a westerly storm off Cape Padrone in the Eastern Cape. Although wreckage washed ashore, none of the 11 that were on board were ever found. 

1904: Eda, this vessel ran aground and was condemned at East London in the Eastern Cape. Very little is known about this vessel. 

1965: Cape St Blaize, this South African motor-powered fishing vessel ran aground about 4 km east of the Kasouga River mouth in the Eastern Cape. Attempts were made to refloat it and to get it to the Kasouga River but these were abandoned and the vessel became a wreck.
