Hi, it is funny when I am right I gain 1% and when wrong I lose 3%. Got a feeling I am not going anywhere.
I must travel a bit more!

The volume though a port is normally a reflection of the tonnage of shipping and not cargo or passengers. Durban is a port serving the northern east coast as well as Johannesburg and the rest of the North of South Africa. Most of the sea freight for Zimbabwe and Botswana comes in via Durban. Cape Town is the next busiest port in South Africa. There is another port that you never really hear about on the west coast north of Cape Town, Saldanha Bay, which loads a large volume of bulk carriers with iron ore. Hope this is helpfull.

Question of the Day?

Hi everyone.

The question, however, could be misleading.
Asking which port is the busiest, without specifying whether you mean cargo traffic or passenger traffic, or naval units (which is often not always available), can lead to error.

For example: in Italy is Napoli (Naples) or Genova busier?
The port of Naples, one of the largest in the Mediterranean, doubles that of Genoa in terms of passenger traffic.
The port of Genoa more than doubles that of Naples in terms of freight traffic.
Who's first then? doubt may come.
the port of Naples, although large, is also surpassed in terms of freight traffic by the port of Augusta in Sicily which few people even know about in Italy.

However, the port of Durban may currently already be overtaken.

I guessed Mombasa as well. Afterwards I google it and Mombasa is the busiest port in Central and Eastern Africa but not for the whole of Africa apparently.

Question of the Day?

Luckily I only knew one as a port. The correct one.🥹

Question of the Day?

What blows my mind about Midway, is Ensign George Gay. After having his Devastator shot out from underneath him by 4-5 Zeros, he had to hide under his seat flotation to keep from being strafed, he then had a ringside seat to see 3 of the 4 Japanese carriers get hit by the Dauntless dive bombers. That’s just nuts. Oh I agree with Roy, the latest Midway movie is the one to watch. Very well done. Woody Harellson surprised me by how well he played the part of Nimitz. And the boys at station HYPO got within 5 miles, 5 degrees and 5 minutes of the location, bearing and time of the Japanese attack at Midway….without today’s electronic help. Outstanding….

Have to be careful what one says here as it might be the subject of the next question!
Still the Battle of Midway is the one to watch. Not Charlton Heston but the last one. Battle 360 do a very good animation of the event as well.

And what would we be doing without McClusky?

The Japanese Admiral managed to do all the wrong things, but in the right order.

Question of the Day?

Hi I saw Hair in 1973 I was on a long course for work and it came to an end and members wanted to celebrate. I got volunteered to go to the theatre and book 18 tickets!

We ended up in the front row of the Circle, the lads cheered etc but it did not do much for me I am afraid. I was married with 2 young children and a lovely wife. So the occasional nude lady singing was not a big deal.
After the show they went off to drink etc, I quietly left to get back to the family.
cheers

I grew up in South Africa so these explorers were dutifully covered in history as Imperial exploiters of Africa 🤣
