The Nova Scotia-built wooden schooner Sorca is reported to have sunk today about 287 kilometres southeast of Halifax, while on her way to Bermuda. The CBC is reporting that all four crew members were rescued after the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre received a distress call around 12:30 a.m.
Built in Lunenburg in 1978 by Murray Stevens, Sorca was scheduled to participate in the RDV2017 Tall Ships regatta, which will stop in Halifax between July 29 and August 1.
I believe I first managed to photograph Sorca in June 2013.

| I'm a sucker for nice reflection. |
I think the last time I managed to photograph Sorca was in July 2015, when she was alongside in front of the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax.
 |
| The sky was grey, and conditions for photography weren't quite as nice as in 2013. |
These photos will just have to do, because it doesn't look like I will get another opportunity.
