When Hurricane Sandy sank the ship from ‘Mutiny on the Bounty’
A ship with a notable history was sunk during Hurricane Sandy. The HMS Bounty, a vessel connected to the film 'Mutiny on the Bounty', was captained by Robin Walbridge. Despite the storm threatening the east coast, Walbridge planned to sail from New London, Connecticut, to St.
Petersburg, Florida. The crew of 15 was given the option to leave the ship before it set sail, but all chose to remain on board. Initially, the ship was to travel east of the storm, but Walbridge later changed course to head southwest.
Further details about the incident are available from the source, including the events that led to the ship's sinking and the decisions made by Captain Walbridge.
