During dredging operations Table Bay for the new harbour, the remains of many wreeks have been struck.

The latest to be located is that of a vessel, apparently a frigate or ship of the line of the 18th century. Sixteen cannon, which it is believed formed part of the vessel's armament, have been found.

Many of the wrecks in Table Bay are thought to contain treasure.
