BOS 400
Historic wreck and dive site at Duiker Point on the Cape Peninsula west coast.
About
BOS 400 was a French derrick/lay barge that ran aground while being towed by the Russian tugboat Tigr on June 26, 1994. Tigr was chartered to tow BOS 400 from Pointe-Noire in the Republic of Congo to Cape Town, South Africa. The tow-cable broke during a force 9 northwesterly gale and caused the vessel to run aground off Duiker Point near Sandy Bay, at the same place as the earlier wreck of the SS Oakburn.
