Panorama of Mossel Bay, part three

Gordon, R.J.

Panorama of Mossel Bay, seen from the north east

Left noord, een quart oost there is more land, with a mountain range in the background.

Left of centre is the start of the bay, and inscribed above the mountain range is the text dese schakelbergen is hier omtrent twe mylen van zee, zy is deselve die voorby Swellendam schiet en by Caap [?], of na onze benaming, little Canna, eindigt..

Where the land ends in the centre, oost ten noorden, is the open sea.

Across the entire foreground of the panorama we can see sand strewn with shells.
