HMS Condor (ship)

Steel screw sloop built with barque rig, 980 tons. Built in 1898, the Condor arrived in Esquimalt on her first commission in 1901. She foundered off Cape Flattery in heavy weather in December 1901 at the beginning of a planned passage to Hawaii. All 140 on board were lost. All 5 other ships of her class (which included HMS/later HMCS Shearwater) had their sailing rig removed after the loss of Condor.
