Natal Police: The Long Arm of the Law

A policeman’s lot is sometimes a happy lot! - With apology to Gilbert & Sullivan. This is an interesting account of early escort duties that were performed by members of the Natal Police. Today the police use aircraft to escort prisoners that are extradited.

Die Geskiedenis van die Suid-Afrikaanse Vloot in Simonstad en hoe dit in die SA Vlootmuseum weerspieël word

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Vlootmuseum, geleë in die historiese Mashuis (1815) en aangrensende Nederlandse Pakhuis (1743), dien as getuienis van hierdie maritieme erfenis. Die oorsprong dateer terug na 1966, toe 'n vloot-historiese versameling by die Kasteel die Goeie Hoop in Kaapstad vertoon is. In die middel-1970's is die versameling na die Martello-toring in Simonstad verskuif en later na Fort Wynyard, waar dit uitgebrei is om vlootartefakte in te sluit.
