Die verhaal van Wolraad Woltemade is waarskeinlik ook die verhaal van ons land se eerste heldedaad. Hierdie gebeurtenis het plaasgevind 120 jaar na die stigting van die verversingstasie aan die Kaap. Die Kaap wat toe reeds bekend gestaan het as "Die Kaap van Storms" ... De Jonge Thomas, 'n Oos-Indiese skip, het op Sondag, 30 Mei 1773 in 'n hewige storm beland in Tafelbaai.
