The tall ship built for the Marlon Brando movie and used in Pirates of the Caribbean is sinking. 17 member crew has abandoned ship and is in life rafts awaiting the Coast Guard rescue team. Helicopters are at the scened and are starting the hoisting effort to save them. This is probably just the beginning of work for our Coast Guard. Hope everyone stays safe.

SERIOUSLY......I agree with that. We shouldn't have to 'rescue' anybody off the water at this point. It's not exactly a 'surprise' storm. Geeeze people. A ship from a movie is nothing in the world of REAL....shame on them for not going ashore sooner.

Bountry is a replica of an old sailing ship. Last edited on 10/29/2012 sidsmom1351521280.231069 PostsRegistered 8/11/2007Dallas! Yes...it IS a very historical movie prop. "The ship was built in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia for the 1962 movie Mutiny on the Bounty that starred Marlon Brando. It is a replica of the British Navy's original HMS Bounty on which the famous mutiny took place in Tahiti in 1789 and is now used as a sailing school for prospective seafarers. It was built using the original ship drawings from files in the British admiralty archives, but its dimensions were enlarged by around a third to fit the enormous 70 mm cameras used in the filming. Some 400,000 feet of lumber were used, 10,000 square yards of canvas were sewn by hand and 10 miles of rope were rigged before it was ready for the silver screen."

A ship from a movie is nothing in the world of REAL....shame on them for not going ashore sooner. It wasn't just a "Movie ship", it was a Tall Ship used for the training of sailors and for education purposes. "Hurricane 101" would actually have you move ships "out to sea" rather than bring them into port as they have a better chance of riding out a storm away from docks. Although they aren't mving the historic ships in Mystic out to sea, they are giving them slacker berths so that they will not be damaged. Small craft in the harbor near us are either being taken out of the water or moved from the docks to off shore moorings so they can bounce and move with the waves rather than fight them.

They were quite a bit East of the track of Sandy so it looks like they were trying to avoid her. I'm sure it's a lot easier for powered vessals to change course and move faster to get out of the way than a sailing (although it didd have power option which apparently they lost) ship.

She said the crew had been in constant contact with the National Hurricane Center and tried to go around the storm. Here is the entire article: http://abclocal.go.com/wtvd/story?section=news/local&id=8864382 Sounds like they tried to get out of the area a week in advance and still got caught up in it. Several sources still saying that two are missing... beach music1351544334.37729065 PostsRegistered 4/16/2007 We were on the Bounty during OP Sail this summer and wow, what a beautiful ship and wonderful crew. Watching it sail into the harbor was breath-taking !

God bless and protect the 2 crew and the ones searching.... Just heard that the missing are wearing survival gear that should keep them warm and dry for up to 15 hours. Hope they are found safe. One crew memeber, a woman named Christian (Am I the only one who sees some irony there) called her family before she left and they were surprised when she ended the conversation with "I love you". When asked why? she answered, "you never know what will happen". Sends chills down your spine. Not sure if she is one of the missing or not.

It was so beautiful and we enjoyed seeing it. It was right up to the promenade and guests were able to go aboard. God speed to the crew. Linders Back1351549941.497346 PostsRegistered 9/4/2005Second star to the right and straight on till morning. Just read an update, and the female crew member, Claudene Christian, and the Captain of the ship are the two that are missing. Now I really do have goose bumps. Did she have a premonition? Her family is headed to NC to wait for news.  "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Sen.

Actually large ships tolerate hurricanes better if they are out to sea and not tied to a dock - the navy always sends all it's ships out to sea in a storm.They just ride the waves and are available for rescues if necessary. The shipyard at Norfolk emptired out days ago - i saw on the news.Those ships are probably east of the storm area by now. 1 of 2 missing people from HMS Bounty found unresponsive off NC Coast - Coast Guard to @cnnweather Last edited on 10/29/2012 I ♥ my Phillies!
