HMS Bounty was built in 1960 for the 1962 movie, Mutiny on the Bounty by MGM Studios in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia to tell the story of the famous maritime mutiny that occurred in the South Pacific in 1789. Now owned and operated by HMS Bounty Organization, LLC, Bounty will celebrate her 50th anniversary during her 2010 Great Lakes voyage. Bounty logs many nautical miles all over the world. Her Hollywood film work continues with starring roles in Treasure Island, Sponge Bob Square Pants, and Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest and is available for private functions, film production, commercials and documentaries. The mission of Bounty is to preserve the skills of square rigged sailing in conjunction with youth education and sail training.
