We visited the town of Tsumeb for lunch, souvenirs and visited a small museum that was pretty interesting. The museum was devoted to local tribes, mining industry and World War I. To me as a former Marine Artillerymen, I enjoyed the artillery pieces that were on display and their story. When the Germans were going to lose to the South African Forces during world war 1 they dumped the cannons and equipment into a lake. Supposedly they dumped gold as well. In the 1980s a group of guys recovered some of those cannons and restored them. Jacobus’ cousin was one of the divers and lost his arm in one of the first dive operations. He later returned without his limb and continued to dive.
