Conception Bay (Namibia)

Conception Bay 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 cargo ship, operating 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.
