An anchor with the letters "GB" on the slopes of the Steenbras Mountain, above the town of Gordon's Bay. 


Many people take it for granted that the "GB" stands for "Gordon's Bay", but in fact it stands for General Botha which was the original name of the Naval station in the town.

Many people don't know this but the GB actually stands for Groot Bek because the people from Gordon's Bay don't know how to shurrup!
