The HMS Bounty is one of the most famous ships in the world. Known for the storied mutiny that took place in Tahiti in 1789 on board the British transport vessel, the current Bounty, a replica, has survived to tell the tale. Built for the 1962 movie “Mutiny on the Bounty” with Marlon Brando, HMS Bounty sails the country offering dockside tours in which one can learn about the history and details of sailing vessels from a lost and romanticized time in maritime history. Since her debut in “Mutiny on the Bounty”, HMS Bounty has appeared in many documentaries and featured films such as the Edinburgh Trader in Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Mans Chest with Johnny Depp.
Spawned from a fascinating dinner conversation with a dear friend, we seek to unite Scholars of the HMS Bounty to trade geekery and information.... Hopefully over cocktails in fine establishments with wood paneling somewhere along the Barbary Coast (thats San Francisco to you).
A lot of ships have gotten caught out in the storm. Protocol is to head to sea. One of my husband's ships, Explorer of the Seas is going to have to ride it out in the Atlantic, with all the passengers. But in the case of the Bounty, they were out by cape Hatteras.
