A legendary Dutch skipper Captain Vanderdecken who swore that he would make Table Bay, despite God's wrath manifesting itself in a storm. His ship sank and he was condemned to continue sailing for eternity. His ship is reputed to still haunt the seas off Cape Point and the sighting of which is considered an omen of pending disaster. This legend formed the theme of Wagner's opera Der fliegende Hollander.
Inkonde eyayingumphathi wesikhephe samaDatshi uKapteni Vanderdecken eyafungayo ukuba iza kwenza iTheku leTafile, nokuba umsindo kaThixo uzibonakalisa ngeziphango. Inqanawa yakhe yazika kwaye akazange aphithe avunyelwe ukuba ahambe ngolwandle naphakade. Inqanawa yakhe kuthiwa isaziporhela iilwandle zazeKapa kwaye ukubonakala kwayo kuthathwa njengophawu lwengozi. Le nkonde yenza umxholo we-opera ye-Wagner Der fliegende Hollander.
