The incident took place June 10th in Tarragona, Spain when the emergency rescue tug Punta Mayor apparently suffered a mechanical problem and backed into a 49.5-meter schooner moored at the marina, causing it to sink.
Sailing enthusiasts have identified the schooner as the Eleonora E, which was built in 2000 by Dutch yacht designer Van Der Graaf as an exact replica of the schooner Westward, designed in 1910 by renowned America’s Cup winning naval architect Nathanael Greene Herreshoff.
