Shark Island History
Luderitz itself is one of the earlier settlements in Namibia founded in 1883 as a trading base. The town is named after its founder Adolf Luderitz.
During 1905 to 1907 Shark Island was the site of a concentration camp harbouring Nama and Herero prisoners. There are several monuments on Shark Island close to the main ablution building in memorial to this troubling time in the history of Namibia.
