Just Nuisance

Just Nuisance was a Great Dane who was officially adopted by the South African Navy in the 1940s and given the title of Able Seaman Just Nuisance. He used to accompany the sailors to Cape Town on the train, and see them safely home after a night of drinking and carousing. This life-sized statue of him by Jean Doyle can be found on Jubilee Square in Simon's Town.

Just Nuisance

The grave of Just Nuisance, a noble Great Dane, is reached by walking up a long staircase of stone steps to the Signal School overlooking Simon's Town. We walk up there to pay our respects quite often but today was not the best day as it is windy and cold but at least the sun is shining.
