The SS Kakopo, a 665 ton schooner rigged steamship, wrecked herself on the peninsula’s Long Beach on the Atlantic coastline on 25 May 1900 - one of many ships to litter South Africa’s treacherous, rocky shores. The deadly combination of storms, fog, strong ocean currents and inhospitable cliffs, rocks and reefs wreaked havoc with early seafarers (360 shipwrecks in Table Bay alone). The SS Kakopo was on her way to Sydney from the United Kingdom with a cargo of coal when she ran aground on the Cape of Storms, having encountered a north-westerly gale that severely impaired the ship’s crew’s visibility with driving rain (typical winter conditions for Cape Town). Mistaking Chapman’s Peak for Cape Point, the ship ended up on the beach. No lives were lost and the crew could actually alight on the sand. But no amount of leveraging could get her back into the water. Legend has it that the captain refused to leave the ship, so mortified was he at the mishap. Some say he lived onboard for as long as three years. The historical shipwreck rests closest to the Kommetjie side of Long Beach and many hikers walk the length of the beach to pass its remains. As the weather changes, the shipwreck reveals itself differently each time. Some are lucky to see the whole ship when it’s not covered in too much sand. . Not to mention, the sand is surprisingly white & soft, much of the likes of Maldives and Boracay! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #aikabeach #wearetravelgirls #darlingescapes #travellergirl #womenwhotravel #femmetravel #girlslovetravel #sheexplores #ladiesgoneglobal #womenwhoexplore #globelletravels #tlpicks #prettylittleiiinspo #girlswhotravel #girlsjustwannatravel #travelinladies #travelgirl #girlgetters #girlsabroad #travelgirldiary #gltlove #girlpowertravel #thetravelwomen #travelwomen #pursuepretty #ootdwatch #citizenfemme #ladieslovetravel #shetravels #girlsborntotravel
