Hermanus - Home of the world's only Whale Crier
The Whale Crier's kelp horn was first heard in Hermanus in August 1992. Pieter Claasen, then an employee of the Old Harbour, was the first Whale Crier. One of the highlights of his time as Whale Crier was surely his trip to Topsham in the UK where he was guest of honour at the annual Town Crier's competition. He opened the proceedings with a call on his famous kelp horn and then shouted his greetings from Hermanus in true Town Crier fashion. He received resounding applause. Later in the afternoon he led the colourful procession of Town Criers, floats from far and wide and a large crowd of onlookers down the Main Street of Topsham. Pieter retired as Whale Crier in 1998 and his position as Whale Crier has been taken over by Wilson Salakusana.
In the months of June through November, when Southern Right whales come to frolic, mate and calve in the warm waters of the bay, it is his mission to alert hundreds of shore-based whale watchers to the whereabouts of whales. He does this by blowing his kelp horn. The sandwich board he wears tells whalewatchers how to interpret the code which will lead them to the spots where the whales have been sighted. You can call the whale crier himself for information on the locality of the whales, on his cellphone number +27 83 212 1074 or +27 73 2146949.
