Bolize: Difference between revisions

 

There are no records of human civilisation before the island was colonised in 1834. The discovery comes much later than its bigger neighbour Buzela, believed to be because of poor weather conditions at sea. In 1994 two farmers discovered a shipwrecked sailing boat thought to have sunk some fifty meters from the southeast coast. The ship was dated to the 1770s and is linked to the disappearance of a fishing vessel carrying four crew. There is no evidence of settlement by any four men, all believed to have perished at sea.
