This summer the Bounty returned home to Nova Scotia as part of the gathering of tall ships. For a few days she was tied to the wharf in Port Hawkesbury. I remember a lady playing a guitar on the dock and I believe that she was the deceased Ms. Christian, the lost crew-member who was a direct descendant of Fletcher Christian, who led the mutiny on the original Bounty.
I was taking some photos and asked another crew-member when they would be leaving as I had hoped to get some pictures of her under sail. He introduced me to the captain and I spent a few minutes talking with him. After the ship left the dock it went through the Canso Canal and into the setting sun over St. George's Bay. Although it was not under sail I got some fantastic photos.
I am saddened that a storm that carried my name caused so much destruction to so many souls! I will always remember walking the deck of The Bounty, speaking to her captain, and the image of a beautiful lady playing a guitar on the dock!
