A big thank you to wildlife volunteers The Overstrand's Environmental Department in collaboration with the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve Rescue Team and other volunteers, are helping and looking after fire affected wildlife in the Kleinmond area.

The Kleinmond Highlands Fire has destroyed ± 5 300 hectares of land. On the photos are tortoises being released into unburned fynbos adjacent to the Kleinmond Golf Course.

The Environmental Officer in Kleinmond, Tamzyn Zweig, said a kind Kleinmond resident kept the rescued tortoises overnight in her garden before they released them. They urge residents not to remove live animals anymore as they will make their way to areas that have not burned.

Volunteers must please to stay on the formal pathways to avoid trampling of regrowth and to minimise erosion in the burned areas.

Jong skaakspeler uit Kleinmond maak al die regte skuiwe Laerskool Kleinmond se Tayden MacKenzie is maar 9 jaar oud met hope skaak talent. Hy is gekies om aan die Internasionale World Individual Schools Chess Championships in Panama, Suid-Amerika te gaan deelneem.

Dit word vanaf 28 Mei tot 7 Junie in Panama City gehou.

Tayden is een van drie skaakspelers van die Overbergstreek wat daarheen gaan. Hierdie eer het hom te beurt geval na sy sukses by die SA-toernooi wat in Januarie in Kimberley gehou is.

Hy speel maar sedert 2018 in toernooie skaak, nadat sy Gr 1-onderwyseres, Chrisda de Witt, hom by die skool se skaakklub gaan inskryf het omdat hy so puik in Wiskunde presteer het. Hy is dan ook ‘n juniorlid by die Kleinmond skaakklub. Hoewel hy nou eers 9 is, neem hy by die internasionale toernooi deel in die onder 11-afdeling. In hierdie ouderdomsgroep mag 'n ouer die deelnemers vergesel, maar die uitgawes word op sowat R46 000 geraam.

Kleinmonders wat graag hierdie kranige skaakspeler met 'n donasie wil help, kan die skool kontak vir bankbesonderhede.

Die afgelope naweek het die BD's aan 'n tweekampbyeenkoms op Malmesbury deelgeneem. Elza de Kock, Anna Pretorius, Janco Fourie en Minke Terblanche (nie op foto nie) kwalifiseer om Boland op 5 Februarie by 'n interprovinsiale byeenkoms op Oudtshoorn te verteenwoordig.

OVERdeBERG OVERBERG MARITIME HISTORY AND ARCHAEOLOGY PUBLICATIONS Continued from page 12 The finding of plate money on the Nicobar (lost in 1783) is recorded as the largest find of Swedish plate money ever.

At the time of the find, the total number of these coins still in existence was around 10,000. From this Overberg wreck alone another 5,000 were recovered. This author is forever grateful to the Nicobar finders, Wilfred Chivell and Louis Groenewald, for their friendship and for making one of the most exciting diving projects in my life possible. It will always be with pleasant memories and fondness that this author will think back on all our land and sea adventures.

The Nicobar has so many links with history, international economic trade routes, archival research and scientific treatment. With such a broad history, these plates from the Nicobar should incite greater interest and curiosity among a wide spectrum of readers.

Over the years, the Schonenberg 1722 story has been told incorrectly over and over again. Lately, the sensational reference to treachery, thievery, murder, banishment and execution has all been proven to be totally untrue. The book also highlights the full historical record as backed by the underwater archaeological record.

In this book, the destruction of one of the Overberg’s open air museums is also put to pen. In turn, the Meermin 1766 tells of slavery, a dark period in the history of mankind, the understandable misuse of trust and the "chess game" played out by two rivalry groups - one doing their job and the other fighting for one of the primary and most valued concepts of life, freedom.

The Dutch ship Zoetendaal 1673 and the English Ship Joanna 1682 are the oldest recorded shipwrecks resting in the light of the Agulhas lighthouse. The former’s crew were the first to be washed out close to Agulhas. It was also this group of survivors that named Africa’s most southern fresh water lake, Zoetendaalsvlei, and who lost one of their men to a raging elephant.

OVERdeBERG

11 For the latter wreck, research turned up a personal diary, never before seen by SA historians, telling the full story of the hardships endured on the long walk to the Cape and salvation.

Again, highlighted in this diary, one reads of the help provided by the local Khoikhoi to stragglers in their quest to stay alive and make it to the safety of the Dutch settlement at the Cape.

The search for the wrecks covered in these books took many, literally a lifetime of highly motivated, all-outenergy-and-time-consuming research, survey search and diving to find.

The book that this author is working on currently is RESTING IN HER LIGHT: A LIFETIME’S WORK. The content will cover the full stories of South Africa’s most valuable shipwreck, the Dutch VOC ship Brederode lost in 1785.

Brederode went down in the deep water with a most valuable cargo of tea, spices, porcelain and tin. Today, she still rests in the light of Agulhas lighthouse with a large portion of her porcelain cargo still packed in wooden boxes

as they had been stacked in 1784.

above& below the waves OVERBERG MARITIME HISTORY AND ARCHAEOLOGY PUBLICATIONS Over the last number of years, many publications on Overberg maritime history have seen the light. For this author, it all started with the publication of the map titled, "Begrafplaas van Skepe".

This MARITIME CULTURAL HISTORY AND ARCHAEOLOGY RESOURCE STUDY publication was in the late 1980’s and the result of almost a lifetime of research and many, many hours at sea searching, finding, pinpointing, identifying and recording.

Today, this last published edition represents the rediscovery of the resting places of around 86% of a total of well over 131 shipwrecks known to have gone down in this area and thus, “resting in her light” (lighthouse). This author’s next publication was a book, co-authored by the world authority on Plate money, Dr. Bertel Tingström, dealing with the Nicobar lost on Quoin Point in 1783. The book was published in 1999 by the Royal Coin Cabinet in Stockholm, Sweden.

Over many years, this author has been preparing to publish books on different maritime history and archaeology topics. In 2014, he was requested to drop all, and urgently write up the full story on the Arniston that was lost in 1815 with the tragic loss of almost all on board.

The reason for the urgency was that in May of 2015 it would be TWO HUNDRED YEARS SINCE THE LOSS OF THE ARNISTON. Thus, the plan was to commemorate, in 2015, the 200th year since the heartrending loss of the ARNISTON on our shores.

This book covers all the main aspects of the ship; its voyage; her sinking; some important individuals onboard; the building of the monument facing the wreck site; the 1980s and four exceptional aquatic individuals that made the FIRST MARITIME ARCHAEOLOGY PROJECT IN SOUTH AFRICA possible; finds made; and the museum’s role as custodian of the recovered artifacts. Resting in her light: Nicobar (1783), a revised addition of this Danish ship, also saw the light in 2015.
