RIP: HMS BOUNTY

1962 - 2012: The famous replica of Captain Bligh'e ship, built in Nova Scotia and used for the remake of Mutiny On the Bounty in 1962, and also POTC: Dead Man's Chest. Caught by Hurricane Sandy of the coast of North Carolina. 14 crewmembers were saved, the captain and one other drowned after the ship sank 2 hours after they abandoned ship and were rescued by the Coast Guard.  When we first moved to Florida, the Bounty was docked at the St. Pete Pier, but we didn't get a chance to see her. The voyage she was making was from CT back to St Pete.
