Who Saved Natal?. This item is unavailable.Who Saved Natal?

Tucked into the South East coast of Afrixa lies a tidal lagoon known over the years as eThekwini, Ponto de Pescario, Rio de Natalia and Port Natal. It was the pristine domain of the elephants, hippos and stone age Bushmen. Then came the Iron age Zulus, the Ivory Hunters, the Voortrekkers and finally the settlers from the British Isles and India. On the 19th Century maritime charts, Port Natal was one of those romantic far off places.Windjammers, paddle steamers, dredgers, divers and hooting tugboats. But it was a naviagtor's nightmare and a ship's graveyard. The old sailing vessels were slowly giving way to the new steam monsters and Natal was desperate for a deep, safe harbour. He who won.
