註釋

This well designed book has the form of an antiquarian town history and was published in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of the British Cape annexation. One of the authors is the Town Clerk and a pillar of the South African community, a fact which makes the book a semi-official centenary volume. There are some demographic and economic statistics, as well as chapters on local government and the development of the fishing industry. The text also occasionally reveals original information, such as the forced closure of the cold storage plant in the late 1950s to make South Africa the sole market and the only exporter of Namibia beef. (Eriksen/Moorsom 1989).
