keith lockey Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 I see the Bounty has sunk as Hurricane Sandy strikes the USA. I was on the Bounty when it docked at Blyth a few years ago. (I'm assuming it was the same one.) I was amazed at how small it was. It cost £5 to board and go below decks and the whole ship seemed cramped, but it was well worth it just to see what it would have been like in those days.
Malcolm Robinson Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 I presume you inspected the "Golden Rivet"!
Symptoms Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 I came across the Bounty when I was looking at sailing vessels for sale at the start of the year ... if I recall it was up for about $4.5; I wonder if it was new owners in charge when it went down? Oh, and before anybody (and we all know who that might be) suggests that Symptoms wanted a boat to host Commie champagne parties on board let me get in first to state that everybody should drink champers, not just the vile, robber-baron, ruling Tory elite scum.
keith lockey Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Posted October 30, 2012 I presume you inspected the "Golden Rivet"! I honestly hadn't heard of the golden rivet and I just looked it up. It must have started on HMS Bendover, did it?
