And shadow ships the race renew

"It was not without good reason that this promontory received the name Cabo da Boa Esperanca because Bartolomeu Dias, who discovered it at the command of the late King João in the year 1488, saw that the coast here turned northwards and north-eastwards towards Ethiopia-under-Egypt and on to the gulf of Arabia, which gave indication and expectation of the discovery of India, and for this reason gave it the name of Cabo da Boa Esperanca."

Saartjie "Sarah" Baartman (before 1790 - 29 December 1815) was the most famous of at least two Khoikhoi women who, due to their large buttocks (steatopygia), were exhibited as human zoo attractions in 19th-century Europe under name Hottentot Venus. ´Hottentot´ was the then current name for the Khoi people, now considered an offensive term, and "Venus" in reference to the Roman goddess of love.
