History
Golden Age of Piracy
By the early 18th century, Cape Town, one of the earliest European outposts, had become the economic and cultural hub of the Cape Colony and its trading market was prosperous.[1] The Welsh pirate Edward Kenway traded olive oil[1] and cocoa pods with both the English and Dutch settlers in the city.[2]
War with England
In the mid-19th century, the British Empire was at war with the Xhosa Kingdom in what was the Cape Colony. The Royal Navy sent reinforcements in the form of a frigate, the HMS Birkenhead. In 1852, however, the frigate struck a large rock and sank along the country's coast. Many British soldiers died, others were evacuated in time, and few survived the impact.[3]
Late modern period
In the fall of 1913, First Civilization skulls were found in the village of Boskop.[4]
