[de] Conception Bay
Conception Bay (historisch deutsch Empfängnisbucht bzw. Empfängnis Bucht)[1] ist eine Meeresbucht an der Südatlantikküste im Westen von Namibia, rund 90 Kilometer südlich der Walfischbucht. Sie ist mittlerweile stark von Verlandung betroffen, bot aber schon während der deutschen Kolonialzeit keinen geeigneten Hafen.
