The replica of Dias's padrão, erected in 1488 on the west coast of Southern Africa
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
Afrikaans: Die replika van die oorspronklike kruis wat deur die Portugese seevaarder Bartolomeus Dias in Julie 1488 geplant is:
"Op 'n hoogte op die Lüderitz-skiereiland, het Bartolomeus Dias in 1488 'n padrão of klipkruis opgerig tydens sy terugvaart na Portugal, nadat hy die Kaap die Goeie Hoop omvaar het. 'n Replika staan nou op die plek, die sg. Diazpunt, terwyl die oorblyfsels van die oorspronklike in museums in Kaapstad en Lissabon bewaar word. As dit van 'n seilboot op see besigtig word, word Diazpunt se ware dimensies gesien, 'n rotsagtige landhoof met die woestyn as agtergrond. Die voet van die punt is die woonplek van 'n kolonie Kaapse pelsrobbe.[1] English: A replica of the original cross planted by the Portuguese seafarer Bartolomeu Dias in July 1488: "On a lofty point on the Lüderitz Peninsula, Bartolomeu Dias in 1488 erected a padrão or stone cross on his homeward voyage to Portugal, after he had rounded the Cape of Good Hope. A replica now stands on the spot, known as Diaz (sic) Point, with the original kept – as found, in pieces – in museums in Cape Town and Lisbon. Seen from a sailing boat at sea, Diaz Point gains its true perspective, a rocky headland with its back to the desert. A colony of Cape fur seals lives at the foot of the point." (via) |
