The Bounty was commissioned and built for the 1962 movie "Mutiny on the Bounty" starring Marlon Brando. She was an enlarged reconstruction of the original 1787 Royal Navy sailing ship HMS Bounty which was a small merchant vessel purchased by the Royal Navy for a botanical mission. The ship, under the command of William Bligh, was sent to the Pacific Ocean to acquire breadfruit plants and transport them to British possessions of the West Indies. That mission was never completed, due to a mutiny led by the acting Master, Fletcher Christian. This was the famous Mutiny on the Bounty.

The replica Bounty was built in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia in 1960. On October 25th, 2012 under the command of long time Captain Robin Walbridge, the Bounty left New London, CT on a course for St. Petersburg, FL. In an attempt to avoid Hurricane Sandy the ship altered course but reported taking on water and on October 29th sank off the coast of North Carolina.
