• HMS BOUNTY abandoned off Hatteras...
  • In cases like this
  • I was wondering what they were doing out there too
    • Every storm has it's heros and fools.
  • One report I read say the Bounty sunk.
    • Thanks, Dave... yeah, she's definitely sunk, and unfortunately...
      • It seems all crew were rescued.
        • Sadly, no...
          • I'm sorry to read to that.
          • I just can't imagine
          • It's heartbreaking.
