S1 – Ep 294 – Kareedouw – The Gateway to the Langkloof and South Entry to Baviaanskloof!
During our visit to Kareedouw, we were immediately struck by the stunning location of the town between the Tsitsikamma and Zuuranys mountains. It was breathtaking to see such natural beauty all around us. One of the highlights of our visit was the Dutch Reformed Church, which was built with stone with a memorial garden next to it. It was fascinating to learn that the former Prime Minister and State President of South Africa, John Vorster, was buried there. The church grounds were absolutely gorgeous and provided a very peaceful setting. We also had the chance to explore some of the local pubs, including Baardt-Bek and Ferrari's Pub and Grill. Both places were unexpected finds in Kareedouw and seemed as if loads of fun could be had there, places where you could let your hair down and have a good time. Overall, our visit to Kareedouw was a wonderful experience, and we loved exploring all that the town had to offer. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #travelongravel #easterncape #kareedouw

HAARLEM WRECK DISCOVERY, BLOUBERGSTRAND BEACH, CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA | КОРАБЛЬ ХААРЛЕМ КЕЙПТАУН
Special thanks to Clare Lindeque, who provided a valuable information
The wreck was uncovered in January 2018 at Bloubergstrand beach on 30.01.18. The people doing the work are from SAHRA, The South African Heritage Resources Agency.
The project was undertaken along the beach at Blouberg to locate the wreck of the Haarlem which wrecked somewhere along the bay in 1647. A geophysical survey was done to try and pinpoint places to look more closely at and then small test excavations were undertaken to uncover what was picked up in the survey. A few pieces of wreckage were uncovered but as yet they have not been identified.The African Institute for Marine and Underwater Research (AIMURE) is the organisation that has been undertaking the project and have been doing it under permit from SAHRA. They will publish the results of the survey in future.
The Haarlem was a Dutch ship that wrecked at the Cape in 1647. The survivors of the wreck spent a some time there before being rescued, and I think when they got back to Holland they reported that the Cape had water and fertile soil etc etc - and that it would be a good place for a settlement/refreshment station. Following that, Jan van Riebeeck was sent here and the rest is history. So it is a very significant wreck in the history of European settlement at the Cape, and finding it would be extremely exciting.
The shipwreck that changed South Africa forever
The Haarlem (Nieuw Haarlem), Dutch East India Company's (VOC) ship (one of numerous Indiamen), sank at Table Bay coast on Sunday, 25 March 1647 during the storm. Haarlem was constructed at VOC Amsterdam shipyard with a length of about 45 metres and a width of 10 metres.
The route around the Cape was particularly treacherous and was officially known as the Cape of Good Hope or Cabo do Bona Esperana. It was soon renamed the Cape of Storms as many Indiamen ran aground or sank while negotiating the route around the Cape Peninsula.
58 crew members were repatriated by accompanying ships soon after the incident with 62 men left behind to salvage as much of the cargo as possible - spices, pepper, porcelain and textiles. They built in a makeshift camp, Fort Zandenburch (Dutch for Sandcastle), where they lived for about one year, bartering livestock and fresh meat from the indigenous KhoeKhoen people. They had a great success fishing in the nearby Salt River and ventured as far as Robben Island.
Crew men reported favourably on their experiences when they returned to Holland and, as a result, VOC management decided to establish a stopover for their ships. This restocking settlement, known as the Tavern of the Seas, where ships stopped for replenishing of water and food supplies, later developed into the city of Cape Town. The wrecking of Haarlem can be regarded as the starting point that created the roots of the modern South African society.
Haarlem site is situated just off shore at a depth of about 3 to 4 m below the sea bed, close to the Dolphin Beach Hotel in Table View, Sunset Beach and parking area at Rietvlei, Cape Town. Table Bay has more than 350 recorded shipwrecks.
