A vessel securely moored in Hout Bay Harbour

There are many, is it six? sunken fishing boats sunk on the slip side of the harbour.
Due to the  theft of sea cocks and metal hull fittings, this is in full view of the
Harbour Masters office. There is of course no harbour master employed in our harbour
these days.

High Tide

Note the mooring line, thats just in case she floats herself and trys to leave port?

Low Tide,its not very deep here? pictures by Roy McBride using a Ganon G11 digital camera.

This old boat was not vandlised ,she sank in an easterly gale tied where she lays ,in this case a hull  plank sprung and the one crew member aboard that night, could not contain the in rush of water. I suspect that this and the other six are available for free, if you raise them yourself?
