The Bounty was sunk off the coast of North Carolina yesterday. It was the ship built for the Brando flick. They were trying to sail her to Florida, lost power and foundered.
Most of the crew abandoned ship and were rescued, but the fate of the captain is unknown.
The only known death was a woman, a descendant of Fletcher Christian.

Isn't that crazy?


They were bringing it down to it's semi permanent dock across the street from the block my Mother in Law lives on.


It was an institution... I was a tourist kid on board it 40+ years ago... and now it's gone.




The crew should have had a mutiny and taken that boat in to safe harbor a week ago when this storm was forecast.

It's good news that most of the crew survived... it must have been scary for both the crew and the rescue detail.

Bummer.

We lost power Mon afternoon and got it back last night. No cell service either since the towers had no power. Some of my friends still have no power while a few blocks away it's back on. Driving to get close to a working tower is still an iffy errand since so many gas stations are out of gas and/or power and you never know if the next curve in the road will have a downed tree/power line.

We lose power with most heavy storms here, but I can't remember the last time cell service went out, too. No fun being so totally cut off from the outside world.

My heart goes out to those who lost way more than power.
