The history of Hout Bay is covered with special emphasis on the fishing industry from which Hout Bay existed in the formative years.

Numerous photographs of the area in its development years are featured as well as stories of the families that were part and parcel of its history. (goodreads, accessed 2022 11 17) | ||
