You may know this shipwreck from the awesome viral video by Chris Roger showcasing a 70ft rope swing they made off the crane of the infamous BOS400 abandoned shipwreck. If a visit to this ominous site is on your list of "things to do in Cape Town", I highly recommend that you go as a group and that it's not for novices.

A bit more about the BOS400
source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BOS_400
The BOS 400 is a French Derrick/Lay Barge that ran aground while being towed by the Russian tugboat Tigr on June 26, 1994.[1]
The Tigr was chartered to tow the BOS 400 from Pointe-Noire in the Republic of Congo to Cape Town, South Africa. The tow-rope broke loose during a storm and causing the vessel to run aground off Duiker Point near Sandy Bay.[2][3]
Despite several towage attempts, the shipwreck was considered a total loss as salvors were able to recover little from the wreck.
The Tigr tugboat was built in 1987 in Polish shipyards. Following the accident, it remained idle in the Cape Town docks from 1994 to 2000, when it was sold for $625,000.[4]
