About Able Seaman Just Nuisance

The historical landmark of Able Seaman Just Nuisance in Simon’s Town is a heartwarming tribute to the only dog ever officially enlisted in the British Royal Navy. A visit to his bronze statue in Jubilee Square offers more than just a photo opportunity; it connects you to the legendary tale of a Great Dane who boosted WWII morale by breaking up fights and escorting sailors home on trains. For a complete experience, travelers often climb the 343 steps to his well-maintained grave at Klaver Camp, which provides sweeping views of the naval harbour and a quiet space to reflect on this "local treasure". Between the charming statue, the detailed exhibits at the Simon’s Town Museum, and the scenic grave site, this landmark is a must-see for history buffs and dog lovers alike.
