Venture Butik
A floating dock, or more precisely, a 123 m long lift ship with a weight of
4 500 tons went aground along the Glentana beach in 1902. It was stranded after the tow rope from the steamer Baralong parted during a tow operation from Durban to Cape Town. Three large pieces of the wreck is still visible today.
We start at the parking area at Meet on Sea for a scenic out and back route during low tide. Expect some rock hopping in places as we boulder accross right in the first kilometer of this journey. The second part is on the sand until we reach the shipwreck.
