The Seli 1 ran aground in stormy weather on 8 September 2009, and is still stubbornly stranded off Dolphin Beach. It seems as though Salvage operations have ceased.
It now looks as though the ship’s stern is beginning to sink.

Quick Cape Town Fact: Since it was first colonised in 1652, Cape Town was tossed back and forth between two of the greatest colonial powers of the time, the British and the Dutch. The Dutch were in charge for the first century and a half after colonisation. Britain took over in 1795, only to lose the colony to the Dutch in 1803. Another three years passed before the Cape was back in British hands, where it stayed for the next century and a bit. Finally, in the early 1900s, South Africa was granted independence, but it was another 90 years before the first democratic elections took place.
