My bad, I thought the name sounded like a woman. Must have been a different name I read (I know the one confirmed fatality was a woman)

HMS Bounty was high tech of sailing ships
HMS Bounty was under command of Capt Bligh who was
master for Capt. Cook, between both were able to sail (1786)
into unknown waters at time when the Bounty was rigged
to be the most able ship of its time. I have read many
accounts of sailing vessels in storm conditions that were
able to set sail such that they were able to weather any
storm. Most were blown off course but were able to get
back on track. I would venture to guess that with 14 hands
on board that the original Bounty could have pumped any
water but with the modern Bounty and electric pumps the
ship was not able to keep up with the water and called for
USCC aid. Something about the old sailors cannot be
matched by today's volunteers. Wooden Ships and Iron
Men. How many women on that HMS Bounty????
At the risk of being sexist that crew may not have had
the balls to keep it afloat. Mayday! Mayday!

Interesting recount of the final days of The Bounty

Story nails it all in the first few paragraphs. Why risk 16 lives to save a hollywood prop? Colossal stupidity.

I didn't realize being a prop in a Johnny Depp movie made something "legendary".
I hate Monday morning quarterbacks, but that Captain was an ass.

What a shame. I wouldn't be surprised if a movie is made about this. And I also wouldn't be surprised if they build a new Bounty III.

It's a shame there wasn't a mutiny, someone should have talked him out of leaving port

TWC in their CG series is showing the HMS Bounty rescue. They make it look easy!
