Quoin Point, Cape Agulhas, South Africa, near which the mail steam-ship Teuton was wrecked, 1881. 'A terrible disaster...one of the fine mail steam-ships of the Union Steam-Ship Company, employed on the line from Southampton to the Cape of Good Hope and South Africa, with the loss of 236 lives...[She] struck upon a rock off Quoin Point near Cape Agulhas; and soon afterwards foundered...the total human freight for places east of Cape Town was 272. Of these thirty-six persons, including only eleven passengers, were saved; therefore, the total loss of life, so far as can be ascertained up to the present, is 236'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
