Amathole District accommodation. The Jacaranda was a Greeck coaster of about 2 000 tons, which ran aground in good weather close to Seagulls on 18 September 1971. The ship carried 15 crew members, which included the captain's wife. It was believed that the vessel suffered engine trouble and according to the captian (Captain Kokkios), The Jacaranda was emtpy at the time, being the reason for it riding high in the water. The ship was cought by strong winds and although they dropped 2 anchors, these dragged on the sandy bottom and the ship went into the rocks.
