Tales of shipwrecks at the Cape of Storms

About this book

In less than five hundred years more than two thousand ships have been consigned to a watery grave on the South African coast and the numbers of souls lost untallied. Table Bay itself is littered with about four hundred wrecks, seventy of which are buried under the reclaimed land of Cape Town's foreshore. Tales of shipwrecks at the Cape of Storms records the intriguing stories of a few of these wrecks.
