Harbour Lights Cape Agulhas South Africa #227 NEW IN BOX!
From Cape Cross to Cape St. Lucia, the 2,250-mile South African coastline is among the most treacherous in the world. Dangerous seas, unpredictable currents, dense fogs and rocky shoals have caused thousands of vessels to founder along these spectacular shores.
South Africa's first lighted aid was built on Robben Island in 1658. Interestingly, Robben Island is also the place where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated for many years. The first permanent light station in South Africa was established in 1824.
Cape Agulhas was the second. Situated at the southernmost tip of the African continent, Portuguese explorers called this place Agulhas, meaning "Cape of Needle", in reference to their compass needles acting strangely when their ships rounded the cape. More ships have met a tragic end near this place than at any other location along South Africa's coastline.
This is a GENUINE Harbor Lights Collectable Light House that is NEW IN BOX!
