Fate
The Brigantine Yankee was wrecked on a reef a few years later, dragging its anchor in a gale off Rarotonga in the Cook Islands on 23 July 1964, owned by Windjammer Cruises, Inc. of Miami, Florida and captained by Derek Lumbers. At the time, Yankee was about halfway through a 14-month global circumnavigation cruise.

Famous quotes containing the word fate:
“Is it impossible not to wonder why a movement which professes concern for the fate of all women has dealt so unkindly, contemptuously, so destructively, with so significant a portion of its sisterhood. Can it be that those who would reorder society perceive as the greater threat not the chauvinism of men or the pernicious attitudes of our culture, but rather the impulse to mother within women themselves?”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“Heaven forbids that man should know
What change tomorrow’s fate may bring.”
—Publius Papinius Statius (c. 40–96)
“... fate is not an eagle, it creeps like a rat.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
