Cap Lopez

The Cap Lopez was a ship that became stranded on the south Goodwin Sands on December 21, 1907. The ship originated from Antwerp, but bears the same name as a harbour at Gabon, a west African coastal nation that gained its liberty from France during the 1960s. Regardless of the great efforts made to save the ship, it ultimately became a total loss. G.B. Bayley, a Deal boatman, said that the wind was blowing hard W.S.W., and the sea was correspondingly heavy. The Charles Hargrave of Kingsdown was launched at 2.30 AM in response to distress signals being fired.
