HMS Bounty for Sale

This famous replica of the original HMS Bounty was launched in 1961, commissioned by MGM for their 1962 film Mutiny on the Bounty. More recently she starred, in amongst many others, the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

She was built from the original ship's drawings still on file in the British Admiralty archives. She was constructed in the traditional manner at Smith and Ruhland Shipyard in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. However, all the dimensions were increased by approximately one third to accommodate the large 70 mm cameras used. Though the ship was scheduled to be burned at the end of the film, Marlon Brando threatened to walk off the set, so MGM kept this vessel in service.

She can be licensed for 12 passengers under way, 150 on deck static, and has berths for 49.

Mechanical propulsion is by two John Deere 375hp diesels.

In recent years she has been almost completely rebuilt.
