This proved to be inadequate, so in 1914 an iron jetty was built (the remains of which can still be seen today).

With the end of the First World War, the Germans surrendered control to the South Africans and all harbor activities were diverted to Walvis Bay.

After this transfer, Swakopmund's businesses ceased and with them the town's inhabitants diminished.
