The HMS Bounty sank today in heavy seas caused by Hurricane Sandy. The U.S Coast Guard rescued 15 of the 16 crew members while the replica tall ship’s captain is still missing, according to Reuters and the USCG. When I saw the news reports of this tragedy this morning, the ship’s name sounded familiar. I searched my photo files and found these photos that I snapped in 2009, during Sail Boston.
