Narrative of the Shipwreck of the French Vessel the Eole on the Coast of Kaffraria in 1829 – Boniface, C. E. & Culpin D. J.

A BOOK published in South Africa almost two centuries ago about a dash to safety by the survivors of a shipwreck has been unearthed in Cape Town. British academic Dr David Culpin came across the book – written 182 years ago in French – at the national library while researching the collection of Sir George Grey, governor of the Cape Colony between 1854 and 1861.
