Sandwich Harbour (Portuguese: Porto d'Ilhéu), also known as Sandwich Bay, Sandvishawe, Sandvisbaai and Sandfisch Bai is an area on the Atlantic coast of Namibia that includes a bay in the north and a lagoon at the southern end. The name could be after an English whaling ship, the Sandwich, which worked during the 1780s, or may be a corruption of the German word "sandfische", a species of shark found in the area. Formerly the bay was a moderately-sized commercial port based around whaling and small-scale fishing, but it is now best known for its birdlife in the lagoon to the south of the bay.

  • Sandwich Harbour (historisch deutsch Sandfischhafen, selten Sandwichhafen oder portugiesisch Porto d’Ilheo) liegt am Südatlantik, circa 42 Kilometer südlich der Stadt Walvis Bay in Namibia. Sandwich Harbour ist sowohl die Bezeichnung eines ehemaligen Hafens an der namibischen Südatlantikküste, als auch eine Bezeichnung für diese Bucht selbst. Diese wird sehr selten auch Sandwichbucht (Afrikaans: Sandwichbaai; Englisch: Sandwich Bay) genannt. Heute versteht man darunter meist die Lagune, die aufgrund zunehmender Versandung der Meeresbucht entsteht. Es handelt sich folglich nicht mehr um eine Bucht im klassischen Sinne. Die Lagune ist etwa 10 Kilometer lang. (de)

  • Sandwich Harbour es un puerto en la costa Atlántica de Namibia, ubicado al sur de la Bahía Walvis, que incluye una bahía al norte y una laguna en el lado sur, se encuentra dentro del parque nacional Namib-Naukluft. Antiguamente un puerto comercial de moderado tamaño asentado alrededor de la caza de ballenas y pesca a pequeña escala, declinó cuando el puerto se obstruyó aluvionalmente y es más conocido ahora por su vida de aves desde la laguna hasta el lado sur de la bahía. * Datos: Q491499 * Multimedia: Sandwich Harbour / Q491499 (es)
