Replica HMS Bounty Sinks In Hurricane Sandy

3 people still missing.

Only the Captain unaccounted for now.

What a tragedy....

Tragedy indeed.



Many people are putting the blame for this on the captain. Easier to do now, with his assumed death.



Why he sailed out in front of this storm, we may never really know.



The boat was for sale, and it was insured, so the insurance company owns it now.



Neptune has a pair of these to play with now.

I'd much rather be at sea than in the harbor. My question is why didn't they leave sooner? It's impossible to know all of the factors involved with that sort of decision. It is a shame that she was lost and a tragedy that crew were lost too.

In an interview, Aug 2012, he is said to like chasing hurricanes. Foolish as it sounds, he is recorded as saying that.



At around the 10:25 mark. He says several foolish things, for an experienced captain.
