What happened to the HMS Bounty? After Hurricane Sandy sinks tall ship, many questions remain

by Laura Domela

The HMS Bounty, a 180-foot sailboat, is shown submerged in the Atlantic Ocean during Hurricane Sandy approximately 90 miles southeast of Hatteras, N.C., Monday, Oct. 29, 2012. U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 2nd Class Tim Kuklewski.

This Washington Post article by Ian Shapira is the most comprehensive account I’ve seen of what happened to HMS Bounty, a replica of the 18th century tall ship which starred in the 1962 Marlon Brando “Mutiny on the Bounty” film, and various Pirates of the Caribbean movies. No definitive word on exactly what caused the accident, but many theories.
