The Crew Of The HMS Bounty Are Caught In Hurricane Sandy And Have Abandoned Ship

One of the world's most famous ships, the HMS Bounty is a victim of Hurricane Sandy.

Initially the ship was reported to be "intact and upright" but subsequent reports say it has sunk.

The Bounty departed Connecticut last week and was underway to Florida, making efforts to sidestep the large hurricane moving up from the south.

According to a picture posted from the ship October 25, "Bounty has departed New London CT...Next Port of Call...St. Petersburg, Florida.
Bounty will be sailing due East out to sea before heading South to avoid the brunt of Hurricane Sandy."
