Geocache Description:

Just past the Thomas T Tucker lies this regular cache that forms part of the Shipwreck Series. For the series methodology and more info visit SS: Shipwreck Series via the related web page link.

A Dutch coaster of 347 tons, built in 1936 at Waterhuizen and commanded by Capt A. van der Luit. She was wrecked in this location on 30 April 1965 after striking the infamous Albatross Rock. She plied between Table Bay and Durban and had on board a general cargo, including liquor, most of which was salvaged at the time. Her crew were one of the first to be rescued by helicopter off the Western Cape coast.

She was on charter to African Coasters. She was cut up and demolished in 1966. If you head inland and back along the trail at this point, you can see a brown circular patch where the customs camp was set up to offload and secure her cargo for lorry trip back to Cape Town.
