This is Wylde Swan
Wylde Swan (West Frisian for "Wild Swan") is a fast sailing vessel originally built in Germany in 1920 as a steam ship.
Wyvern sinking
Wylde Swan was mentioned in connection of the sinking of Wyvern during the early hours of July 11, 2013. Both ships were participating in the Tall Ships' Race when Wyvern started taking on water. Wyvern alerted the Swedish coast guard at 05:21, stating that the ship was taking in water and in critical need of aid. The coastguard boats, with the aid of surrounding ships (including Wylde Swan), attempted to use bilge pumps to prevent sinking. When this was not successful, the crew members were evacuated, the last being removed by helicopter at 08:00. At 09:22, the coast guard received a report that 3 crewmembers from Wylde Swan had boarded Wyvern, attempting to rescue the sinking ship.
