Fig. 2.4: Capt. Gawthorpe’s chart, 1813, showing the Simon’s Bay anchorage and settle-
ment and the coastal track. The Whale Fishery is noted at Calks Bay, as are the Pass,
Deep Ditch and Breastworks before Muizenberg. The road to Cape Town, via Wynberg,
divides at Muizenberg: the direct route is along the eastern shore of Zandvlei (“sometimes
dry in summer”), the indirect one is along the western shore and then via the farms of
Tokai and Constantia. (Royal Hydrographic Office, Somerset).
