'Much has been said and written about Walvis Bay but there is no complete record of its history.
This book tells the story of the port and the settlement of Walvis Bay, and has been compiled from a variety of sources.
To collate all the necessary information has been a mammoth task, and that could only be undertaken successfully by a person with considerable devotion to and interest in history. Such a person is my fellow-author and I am greatly indebted to her for all her effort.' - J.J.J. Wilken
