Blouberg, Blaauwberg, Cape Town – South Africa

Willem Barendsz was built in 1955 as a whale factory ship, was later a fish factory ship off South Africa during the 1960s and partially blamed for the collapse of South Africa’s fish stocks in the late 60s and 70s. For many years she was anchored in Table Bay between Robben Island and Blouberg until sold in the mid-70s.
