HMS Bounty has foundered off the coast of North Carolina in Hurricane Sandy. Fourteen crew members have been rescued by the US Coast Guard, while two others, including Captain Robin Walridge remain missing at sea. Bounty, a replica of Captain Bligh's ship, was built in Nova Scotia for the Marlon Brando remake of Mutiny on the Bounty and also appeared in one of the Pirates of the Caribbean films. It has been touring the Eastern Seaboard in recent years, offering port visits and sail passages. Dramatic Video of the USCG rescue. HMS Bounty Facebook page, for updated information and discussion.
