Bob Bolton BS: Tall Ship Bounty Abandoned in Storm! (185* d) RE: BS: Tall Ship Bounty Abandoned in Storm! 26 Feb 13

G'day Charley,

Thanks for that!

I've just accessed an entry on the various 'film replicas' and the one I saw, for a number of years in Sydney was a rather metallic Bounty! This is its history panel:

"A second Bounty replica, named HMAV Bounty, was built in New Zealand in 1979 and used in the 1984 Dino De Laurentiis film The Bounty. The hull is constructed of welded steel oversheathed with timber. For many years she served the tourist excursion market from Darling Harbour, Sydney, Australia, before being sold to HKR International Limited in October 2007. She is now a tourist attraction (also used for charter, excursions and sail training) based in Discovery Bay, on Lantau Island in Hong Kong, and has an additional Chinese name."

Your fully wood construction "Bounty" is, in many respects, a far greater loss!

Regards,

Bob
