SHIPWRECK BOOK
Golgotha van die Oseane – Skeepsrampe aan die Agulhas-kus, by Jeanette Grobbelaar, covers shipwrecks along the Southern Cape coast from Cape Point to Cape Infanta. The title comes from a discussion printed in the South African Commercial Advertiser of 18 July 1840 regarding a lighthouse requirement... "to put a period, if possible, to the many and melancholy losses at that Ocean Golgotha, Cape L’Agtilhas." Jeanette was the curator of the Shipwreck Museum in Bredasdorp. This softcover 132-page book covers 120 shipwrecks and includes phoos, sketches and a map. It can be ordered from Inset Uitgewers at Eversdal: Insetuitgewers@gmail.com
