| The Nolloth, a 347 ton Dutch trawler, ran aground, surround by jagged rocks in rough seas after she was struck by an unidentified underwater object. It is believed to be the Albatross Rock.
The rescue started after her captain sent a radio signal to say that she was holed and was taking on water fast. A 'Wasp' naval helicopter was despatched to find the exact position of the wreck. |
| The crew, because of rough weather, could not leave the craft in life boats. A tug was called out from Table Bay Harbour, but by the time she arrived a naval helicopter had lifted crew to shore. This incident occured about 100 m from the Thomas T. Tucker which sunk in 1942.
Her cargo of general goods and liquor were taken off 5 days later. The owner sold her to salvagers and the sea was left to do the rest! | |
