HMS Bounty...at one with the sea...global voyager...movie star...dedicated to preserving the fine art of square-rigged sailing.
Known for a maritime mutiny that took place over 200 years ago, Bounty remains famous and infamous. Thousands cross her ample decks during port visits wondering what life was like then and now. You know her from her modern movies as well. In 1960, it was Marlon Brando as Fletcher Christian in Mutiny on the Bounty. Today, it is Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean – Dead Man's Chest.
The adventures continue daily. Bounty left St. Petersburg, Florida on April 6, 2008 for the West Coast with stops in the Bahamas for a film shoot. From there, we "sailed" into the Panama Canal, and up the West Coast visiting Victoria British Columbia, Tacoma, Port Alberni, San Francisco, Monterey, Channel Islands, San Diego and Los Angeles to name a few. From there we will be on our way to the Galapagos offering a six week sail passage embarking from San Diego. From here we will transit the Panama Canal and to Mississippi for a 2 week stay in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for a Bountiful Thanksgiving. Bounty will be arriving back in St. Petersburg in time for our crew to have a landside Christmas Holiday! For a greater perspective of life on board a Tall Ship, you may book a passage and be part of the crew as we embark on a history-laden voyage for the Bounty.
