    The memorial was erected to commemorate the donated transport ship, the Arniston - 1815.
    From this location, you have a beautiful view of the bay of the fishing village of Arniston.

    Description: Discover the poignant story of the wreck of the Arniston Transport, a tragic maritime disaster that occurred in 1815. This memorial commemorates the 350 passengers and crew, of whom only six survived. The Arniston Transport, a British East Indiaman, was lost due to navigational errors and treacherous waters, resulting in one of South Africa's most heartbreaking shipwrecks. Visit the memorial to pay your respects, learn about the ship's fateful voyage, and reflect on the courage and resilience of the victims. The site offers a somber yet beautiful reminder of the power of the ocean and the enduring human spirit.
