- November 2, 2012 - Hidden in the National Geographic archives for more than 50 years, film captured by photographer Luis Marden shows the H.M.S. Bounty's maiden voyage to Tahiti in 1960. A replica of the infamously mutinous 18th-century vessel of the same name, the Bounty starred alongside Marlon Brando in 1962's Mutiny on the Bounty.

Getting to sail to Tahiti on a sailing vessel, what a dream
I have been on board the Bounty once when it docked in San Francisco. RIP Bounty..........
I was first informed of the building of this ship, and the reason why, when I saw the National Geographic Magazine on sale, in 1960. With the beautiful colouir image of the replica on the front cover, and full story inside, plus many photographs. I still have this magazine, it's been kept in pristine condition ever since.
IT IS TEN YEARS THIS MONTH, THAT THE SEA TOOK HER FROM US.
Thank you for uploading this! I'm from Fall River, MA where the ship would come to very often and where the captain met his wife. It's so upsetting to hear that this has happened. Such an awesome piece of history, talent, and hard work.
How tragic! However, despite the loss of the masterpiece that was the HMS Bounty, some comfort may be taken in knowing that nearly all aboard survived.
My deepest condolances to the family & friends of the deceased crew member. I shall keep the captian's loved ones in my thoughts, and hope that he is accounted for soon, as well.
i miss the hms bounty
He was in a completely protected harbor - berthed at a naval submarine base. Absolutely safe.
His ship was rotting, he knew that. Pumps were in poor condition with apparently little to no backup. He sailed into shallow waters know to be a ships graveyard.
More like suicide than sailing.
Always in love with this ship--saw the film 8-9 times. Back in 2005, I drove like a loon to Torquay , southern England, approx 100 miles---when I heard on the radio she was visiting there that day. I got on board her, huge crowds, took many photos, posed by the wheel---didn't they all? When I heard of the tragedy, I felt sick for weeks, like the loss of a friend. I was so frustrated by the lack of news information this side of the 'pond'. I'm still uncertain if a official investigation and enquiry has ever been properly carried out, and made public ?
That video was way too short. I loved it though.
There will never be another ship to take her place! Never!
He was trying to outrun it, and to avoid being tied up due to the extreme tidal variations that would have been caused by the tidal surge which could splinter the ship. He wasn't an idiot, he made a decision based upon his experience and the data at hand unfortunately it didn't end how he expected due to the loss of electricity to the pumps. Monday night quarterbacking is 20/20.
Actually that might have been an excuse, cuz there's a recording of the captain saying he likes to "chase hurricanes".
Such a tragedy. :'(
Nice eulogy, well done
A good captain goes down with his ship
Which is exactly why he went down with Her... A last ditch effort to hide his reckless negligence. How selfish.
@@citizenY
Seriously? That's terrible.
How do you know that?
It’s a galley, not a kitchen! jeez!
It's unfortunate that it sank in that superstorm.
The captain went down with his ship ...
Wrong captain maybe🤷
Thats such a shame
wow, she's beautiful.
The video is not exactly true. It's not true that the Bounty was the first sailing ship built for a movie. It might have been the first fully functioning ship, but other ships had been built. Frenchman's Creek had a ship built on the Mendocino County, California coast in the 1940s. Ships has been built for Warner Bro and Paramount movies as well as earlier MGM films. And of course films from other countries.
From what I read---virtually all those old rigger's of past films, were botched up remakes of rotting hulks, and bits added or removed so as to look---from a distance, like a French, Spanish ,British or American--ship. THIS BOUNTY, was totally original from the keel to the the smallest detail. Copies of the original plans , were sent from London to MGM. The skills required to build such a ancient design, with all the right materials AND old Tools, was a mammoth effort, many of the men returned from retirement, it was a labour of love for them. THIS GREAT SHIP WILL NEVER BE REPLACED.
This was hokeyville disguised as National Geographic.
why was this ship in open seas knowing a hurricane was coming ?
Read the NTSB report is it serious interesting reading. The USCG interviews afterward are available as well.
How?
They can always rebuild a replica, sadly the same can't be said for the human loss.
There was a second (third) Bounty build for the Mel Gibson movie in the 80s.
Kind of hokey...and truth stretched a bit on several occasions. ..of course.
What a waste -.- hope they would rebuild another ship like that -.-
This cost the equivalent of $50 M---CGI from now on.
nova scotia?
Marden is not happy
It was a fuckin movie prop, not a storm bearing sea worthy vessel. Calm sea, sure. Attempting to outrun a hurricane? Nope..
You obviously haven't watched the video--or are you just stupid. Unlike the usual patched up old hulks--THIS BOUNTY--was not only the first wooden ship of this size--EVER made for a movie, it was exactly made to the original British Naval plans, copied and sent to MGM. As stated here--this copy was 30 feet longer ,so as to allow room for engines and huge modern Cameras etc etc.
