Empire Sandy is a three-masted schooner providing chartered tall ship tours from Toronto, Canada. She was built in 1943 as an Englishman/Larch Deep Sea-class tugboat for World War II service by the British government.[4] After the end of World War II she was repeatedly sold, renamed Ashford and then Chris M, before being substantially enlarged in a conversion to a schooner and reverting to her original name.
