It sank during Hurricane Juan on September 29, 2003, was raised a month later and eventually returned to service.

Prior to its sinking, Larinda visited 19 states, seven foreign countries, served as a goodwill ambassador to Cuba, sailed alongside the USS Constitution, and was part of Boston's Tall Ships 2000.

[1] On September 28, 2003, the schooner was at Halifax Harbour at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic preparing to sail to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, and then home to Cape Cod.

The schooner took on large amounts of water and sank just after the hurricane ended early on September 29.
