Does the name "Kenya Jacaranda" mean anything to you?
Answers:
She is a boat! She is a Brixham trawler. Her website is crap. But I have seen her within the past week in the Thames. She was tied up in Gravesend, in the Canal Basin
no, but there is a hotel Jacaranda in Tenerife that I stayed at.. that means something to me

The "Kenya Jacaranda" is one of only five Brixham sailing trawlers still left afloat out of an original fleet of some 400 vessels. She is a 69 foot (waterline) gaff-rigged ketch with
a total length overall of 77ft. and a registered tonnage of 31.10 tons, weighing 85 tons in all.
She was built at the boatyard of R. Jackman & Sons of Brixham and originally named the "Torbay Lass" when registered in 1923.
At that time she was a pure sailing trawler and all available space was used for sails, fish and nets.
In 1939, the ship was re-registered as the Kenya Jacaranda, two engines were installed and she went on to cruise the Indian Ocean for many years.
Since 1950 she has worked as a sail training ship and over 7000 young people have been to sea under the auspices of the current owner, the Mayflower Sail Training Society.
