This is really interesting. I grew up in Durban in the 1960s and ’70s. In the early ’60s in particular, my family often went for drives around the docks, particularly on Sunday afternoons. You had to stop at the customs booth on the way in, but then could drive right up near the ships and watch them loading and unloading. I can almost smell the sea salt air thinking back! Watching the ships entering and leaving the harbor from The Point was also fun.
