Seafarer Pub is named after the SA Seafarer.
Carrying a cargo of highly dangerous tetra-ethyl-lead the Seafarer approached Cape Town Harbour in rough weather on 30 June 1966. After being advised to lie outside the harbour because of the weather, the captain decided to enter as he thought it was moderating. Due to several misunderstandings on course corrections, the ship ran aground on the rocks off Green Point shortly after midnight. Several unsuccessful attempts were made with a rocket lifesaving apparatus to rescue the crew and 12 passengers, who were eventually airlifted off the disintegrating vessel under trying circumstances, more than eight hours later. The Seafarer shares her resting place with two earlier wrecks, the steamer Thermopylae (1899) and the George M. Livanos (1947).
