The peculiar name ‘Saldanha Bay’ is originally applied to the present Table Bay, where Antonio de Saldanha, a Portuguese admiral anchored his fleet in 1503. Ironically he never saw the bay that was named after him, since by some navigational error, the name Saldanha Bay was applied to its present position by Joris von Spilbergen. During the Second World War Saldanha Bay was very important because of its strategic location and safe anchorage as a convoy assembly point. Today Saldanha has a huge iron ore quay and is home to a large variety of astonishing fishing vessels.
