Today might only signal the fourth day of July for 2014 for most of us, but taking a look back, today celebrates significant moments in our history. So let’s have a quick look at the historic events of July 4th:
The most well-known celebration on this day is of course the American Independence Day, commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4th 1776. Other significant events on this very day includes the publishing of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland in 1856, France offering the Statue of Liberty to the United States in 1886, the Philippines attaining full independence from the United States in 1946, the cornerstone of the Freedom Tower being laid on the site of the World Trade Center in New York City in 2004 and the Statue of Liberty’s crown reopening to the public in 2009 after being closed following the September 11 attacks.
To all our American visitors we say Happy 4th of July and invite you to celebrate it South African style. Instead of hamburgers and hotdogs, enjoy a proudly South African braai and boerie rolls. And instead of fireworks, enjoy the equally awe-inspiring splashes in the wake of breaching Southern Right Whales and jumping Great White Sharks. Find out more about Shark Cage Diving and Whale Watching in Gansbaai.
