First Edition, Howard Timmins, [1983], Large-format Hardback with removable protective plastic wrap  - Africana - 124pp. ISBN 0869782517.

A well-illustrated account of the ships and men who perished along the stormy coasts of the 'Fairest Cape'.

Shipwrecks of the Western Cape by Brian Wexham covers 23 of the more spectacular wrecks that have occurred around the Cape of Storms between 1773 (de Jonge Thomas) and 1983 (Castillo de Bellver), described in words and pictures.

"The sea routes from Table Bay to Agulhas have always known shipwreck and tragedy. Ever since early Portuguese pioneer sailors encountered the treacherous storms off the Cape, ships of every size and description have yielded to the unpredictability of the sea. This book is well illustrated with photographs and historical accounts which capture the mood of the period. Many wrecks are still visible, their presence has created a shipwreck route from Milnerton in the north to Agulhas in the east, where visitors to the Cape can see the broken limbs of ageing vessels still defying the sea which claimed them."
