Able Seadog JUST NUISANCE R. N.
had his birthday celebrated in style this morning with a band , cake, and a fancy dress for dogs. I thought that the celebration was to be at his statue but infact it was at the Museum.
Just Nuisance was a Great Dane who adopted sailors from the Royal Navy. He loved sailors who wore bell bottom trousers, tight jerseys and a square collar. Officers and ratings who wore the other kind of uniform were only tolerated and those in Air Force or Army uniform were ignored.

The extra pictures are of mosaics on benches on Jubilee Square and are in remembrance of the forced removals of citizens of. Simon's Town during the Apartheid era
