Tribute to the SV Concordia

This video is a tribute to the brave crew of the tall ship "SV Concordia." The SV Concordia capsized and sank off the coast of Brazil on Wednesday (Feb. 17th). Fortunately, the crew (64 people) have been rescued.

SV Concordia was one of the myriad of tall ships featured at Tall Ships Nova Scotia 2009. The video was shot during the Tall Ships festivities - back in the summer. A few of the video shots have been featured in the Tall Ships 2009 podcasts. The video shows the sequence of the SV Concordia docking in Halifax Harbour.

@x21alethia12x - You're welcome! The video will always be on here. I'm not taking it off YouTube at all. It'll be here for everyone who has fond memories of the SV Concordia. During the Tall Ships event, SV Concordia was the ship that stood out from the rest for me. May she sail on forever...

I´m a Brazilian air force pilot now serving as a blue beret in MINURSO. I highly appreciated this video. My squadron 4º/7ºGAv was called for a SAR mission to identify the situation regarding an EPIRB signal. We started the search and continued after the sunset, when we saw flares cross the sky. We flew over the rafts, we couldn´t contact the survivors but we contacted 3 nearby cargo vessels, the Mitsui, Hokuetsu and Crystal Pioneer. If possible I´d like to maintain contact by face book.

@jorgepetrola  hi, that would be awesome!

I was on the ship when it went down. If you would read some kind of reports you would understand that mother nature can do things that can let a ship like Concordia sink. She was one of the safest tall ships that sailed. It´s not crew failure.

Hi, hfxland1749!
