HMS Bounty 1960 - October 29, 2012

While watching the news about "Sandy" this evening, Ken and I were so saddened to hear that the Tall Ship, "Bounty" had sunk off the east coast in today's storm. It had been built in Lunenburg, and we enjoyed our visit aboard this summer http://365project.org/Weezilou/365/2012-08-03.

Our thoughts are with the crew members and the brave people who went into the storm to save them. Unfortunately not everyone made it back safely.

My best to all of you riding out this storm...
Great collage

love your collage Louise, and yes this is really sad. I've just read that the captain is still missing.

I have just been watching the news, it is dreadful to see the devastation,. your collage is very good so sad that the "Bounty" has sunk.

It's just heartbreaking. My friends are having a good time giving me flack about this storm being "Sandy" and all but stories like this sort of punch a hole in the teasing. The pictures are wonderful and it's great to see you here m'dear!

It is hard to hear about things like this, and it is sad, but Sandy has been a nasty one. More than 24 hours later we are still feeling its fury

So nice to hear from you Louise and see you are back home safe. The U.S. eastern coast has really taken a beating in this storm. The rescue team that saved the lives of the crew were amazing. Sadly the captain is still missing. We were forecasted to be in the path of the storm. So far we have been spared. Hope the eastern provinces are as lucky..

What a wonderful collage, Louise. I thought I had seen some photos of this ship on your project. So sad for the crew and the captain - hope he survived somehow and will be found. It's a wonderful looking ship.
