Kolmanskop shipwreck near Swakopmund, Namibia
July 13:
“This day in our shipwreck and aeronautical wreck history”
1842: Speedy, this wooden-hulled schooner wrecked after its cables parted in a north-westerly gale near Woodstock Beach in Table Bay in the Western Cape. The Arion and the Galatea also ran aground during the gale, but they were refloated. The remains of the Speedy now lie beneath reclaimed land.
1972: P X de Wet, this motor-powered vessel ran aground near the mouth of the Boesmans River at Franskraal in the Western Cape. Very little is known about this vessel, and it is possible that it was refloated.
