Rough seas on HMS Bounty

Amateurs committing suicide . Such a waste of life and property.

Is this the voyage that she sank?

Why is there no one on deck?

All hands on dek!!!

How stupid can you get? One man on deck taking selfies in a hi viz jacket. Wheres the rest of the crew? Sorry its raining and we dont do rain. To top it off its a fucking swell: not rough seas. Ahoist the Mainyard!

GREG B---I don't believe it ! I too have a copy of '' National Geographic'' magazine, of April 1962., with that terrific colour image of the Bounty, splashed across the front cover. The difference is--I bought mine when it was first issued. The inside gave a potted history of the Mutiny, and all the technical details of how the ship was built, all the quality materials used and the rare skills needed to make her, up in Nova Scotia. I loved the diagramme's and names of the sails and their purpose, and a history of the hunt for original Bounty artifact's found at Pitcairn Island etc. An excellent issue, which might be worth a few bucks now.

deliberatly sailing into the path of a hurricane seems madness top me.with modern weather tools available i'm sure the spaniards woud nerver have sailed their galleons deliberatly into one or any one else with a lick of sense . i would have stayed in port resigned or jumped ship.lol.

I've been in worse than that on Roker Pier. Fuck off hand maidens.

This seems a very peculiar video.  Nobody is on deck or even near the helm, and the ship is broadsides to the waves, and rolling (badly!) accordingly.  It even looks lie the lee rail is getting close to the water portside.  45 degree max roll to port?  Where is the crew?

Scary :-S

And I lost a cousin when she went down in October 2012.  I am from Midshipman George Stewart of the HMS Bounty in 1789. His only daughter managed (short version), to end up in Hawaii (Sandwich Islands), and then with an American Sea Captain of the US Mercury, arrived in Spanish California in May 1813, captured, abandoned by her common law husband, George Washington Eayrs, and in 1817, married into my Olivera family of Santa Barbara-San Luis Obispo.

The seas may not be welling to let all live, but she does take care of herself. But man sure tries to make a mess of it all.

For the Captain and my cousin, RIP and for the surviving crew, thanks for surviving and telling your stories. Thanks for the rescure crews.

Well, if this is the kind of seamanship typically practiced by her crew, it's no wonder HMS Bounty II sank. When you heave to you do so bow-on to the weather and waves, not nearly parallel to the waves as seen in this video. When large waves are hitting you abaft the bow or beam-on you run the risk of broaching-to. The waves here aren't that bad at all, but if they had been 10-15 ft higher and the ship was hove-to the way she is here, she probably would have rolled onto her port side and sank. Terrible violation of basic off-shore seamanship. Remember, the original Bounty sailed in conditions far worse than this and made it through quite easily. I really don't think this Bounty needed to heave-to in these conditions at all. The fact that she did says to me that the captain had no confidence in the crew or that he was timid. 

She was a beautiful lady. God rest the ship and her lost crew.

freaky

RIP

Aye she's in ol' davy jones locker now..

Sailed for 20 years dumbass! Sailing broadside to the swell with no sail up is probably why it sank you tit.

if you dont know how to sail a ship, dont make your self look dumb and comment

can someone put up a sail wtf!
