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.
