SV Tabasco 2: Halifax

Cape Sable Island Dept: Nine men were aboard the SV Tabasco 2 when it ran into heavy seas. They were about 148 kilometres south of Cape Sable Island when they called for help on March 26, according to CBC. Two of the rescued men remain in Halifax, while three more are in Saint John, N.B and the families of the man who died and the three men who are still missing from a sailing yacht that sank last week off the coast of Nova Scotia are grieving back home in Georgia. The tanker FSL Hamburg rescued three of the men. A military search-and-rescue team hoisted three others off the stricken yacht, including the man who later died. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
