HMS Bounty

A few weeks ago we were shocked to see the HMS Bounty anchored out in the bay. This great sailing ship is best known for the mutiny that took place on it on 28 April 1789. This great naval ship once boasted four four pound cannons, and ten swivel guns! This light but fast ship once traveled the globe during a time when Britain ruled the waves.

This particular ship is actually not the original. This is a reconstruction of the HMS Bounty that was made for the 1960 film "Mutiny on the Bounty" staring Marlon Brando. It was also used in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean – Dead Man's Chest" staring Johnny Depp.

I had intended to go in and see the ship up close while it was docked in the port. A day later, however, I noticed it sailing out to sea.
