The NSRI’s oldest station, located at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, is all set for another 56 years of sea rescue excellence with the handover of a state-of-the-art rescue craft and the upgrade of its new base building. The unveiling of a new station building for the NSRI’s oldest operating base at the V&A Waterfront, Station 3 (Table Bay), is a fitting time to reflect on its rich history. The first NSRI stations were established along the Atlantic Seaboard in Cape Town in the late 1960s. Station 3 was initially located in Three Anchor Bay, Station 2 at Bakoven and Station 1 was first located in Cape Town harbour’s layout basin.
