Angra Pequena

Angra-Pequena, a German settlement on the coast of Namaqua Land, south-west Africa, to the north of the Orange river, which is the boundary of Cape Colony. The German claims extend about 150 miles from the Orange river without any precise limitation inland. The colony is now known as Luderitz Land, from the name of the adventurer who, in 1883, purchased the soil from a native chief.
