Conception Bay (Namibia)

Conception Bay (Afrikaans: Conceptionbaai, German: Empfängnisbucht) is a bay on the coast of Namibia, Africa. The bay is exposed, thus not providing a useful anchorage.

Geography

Conception Bay opens to the Atlantic Ocean in the northwest. There is a lagoon at the southern edge of its shoreline. The bay is located in a desolate area. It is part of one of the coastal stretches of Namibia where diamonds are found.

Shipwrecks

On 30 July 1926 the SS Cawdor Castle, a cargo ship under the flag of the United Kingdom, ran aground in Conception Bay. She broke up over the following weeks and was a complete wreck by early September.
