In 1647, the Nieuwe Haarlem — part of the Dutch East India Company fleet — floundered in bad weather and ran aground near Table Bay. This was the shipwreck that led to the creation of a new state in the southern part of Africa. The brave crew, lead by captain Leendert Janszen, stayed behind with him to look after the shipwrecked cargo and during this time, planted vegetables and the Cape's first vines.The crew's survival and exploration of the vicinity led to the establishment of a halfway station by Jan van Riebeeck on April 6th 1652, which ultimately led to the founding of South Africa and the first vines being planted in the Cape. Today, the Cape is still rich with vines, some of which were first planted by Janszen and his crew from the Nieuwe Haarlem.
