Wreck of Robertson II

[cliffordpope]

What news? Has she been abandoned?

Looks that way. She's breaking up now in the elements. The last I heard a couple of days ago was that she'd lost a mast.

Robertson II? What and where? Not heard of this one.

 

[cliffordpope]

Featured in current Classic Boat. A wooden schooner, grounded on a reef in Canada. At the time of going to press attempts were being made to float her off, but it was looking desperate as substantial damage seemed to have been done.
Later news reports suggested she was breaking up and the attempts abandoned.
