Fig. 2.15: The difficult descent at “The Trappies” (ie. the rugged rocky ledges, or steps) to
beach level at Clovelly. This, the only known painting, dates from 1898 but the incident
depicted – Midshipman Keppel (later Admiral Keppel RN) and colleague Waley Armitage
(arm in sling) gingerly negotiating the pass to return to their ship in Simon’s Bay – happened
in 1828. (Fish Hoek Valley Museum).
