How the Sport of Yachting Started in Algoa Bay
In 1933, before the breakwater was completed it was the practice of the tugs of Messina Bros., Coles and Searle (Pty) Ltd., to ferry passengers to and from the liners which were anchored offshore in Algoa Bay. The last tug for the day was at 4:30 pm and passengers who missed this tug then had no choice but to either spend the night on board ship or in the bustling little city of Port Elizabeth. Out of this then came the opportunity for an enterprising Port Elizabethan by the name of Bredell … [Read more...] about How the Sport of Yachting Started in Algoa Bay

Algoa Bay yacht club debacle
Dear MyPE If the DA is serious about creating jobs through tourism in the metro then it needs to intervene urgently in the spat between the Algoa Bay yacht club and Transnet National Ports Authority. Without a yacht club there will quickly be no marina, which means no yachts in what was once marketed as one of the most perfect bays in the world for watersport. The city will also no longer host national and international regattas. Transnet lost us the highly prestigious Volvo Ocean … [Read more...] about Algoa Bay yacht club debacle

Algoa Bay Centre of Focus at African Marine Waste Conference
"With 350 kg's of plastic being dumped in the ocean every second, it is projected that there will be more plastics than fish in the ocean by 2050.
