Here's one - a tern schooner built at a shipyard near the one that I just finished working at, for a man whose grandson I know, wrecked at the spot from which I took photos of Hurricane Bill that I posted on a thread a few weeks ago.

When launched, CHARLES A. RITCEY stood out for being unusually well-equipped for a traditionally built wooden schooner, as she was fitted with modern conveniences including electric lights and even a bath tub for the captain. Under her first captain, C. Dave Ritcey, she was known for fast passages in her short career, but she came to grief under her second master, Otis Acker.

She struck in a gale. The steward got a line ashore which he and six other crew used to rescue themselves. Captain Acker was lost overboard when the vessel shifted.

Date of wreck: 1920-09-15
Location: Rose Head, Lunenburg
Cargo: Ballast
Lives Lost: 1
Voyage from Spain to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia , Canada
Built at Meteghan, Nova Scotia , Canada 1917

I've watched her gradually disappear over several years.
