The Ship That Sank Twice: HMS Bounty

October 2012 - and off the coast of North Carolina an unusual disaster has played out. Rescue helicopters have captured a terrifying - but extremely rare - sight. The remains of a battered and broken 18th century style sailing ship rolling heavily in the big seas. At her stern is the name Bounty. This was no ordinary ship - in her time she was a movie star - a beloved museum vessel built in 1960.

In this two-part collaboration with the channel Brick Immortar we’ll explore the design and construction of these unique vessels - their reasons for being. We’ll learn about what happened to the original Bounty in 1789 and the dramatic series of events that inspired Hollywood to create a replica in 1960 - and then we’ll learn about the tragic fate of the replica as Sam from Brick Immortar analyses the final voyage in forensic detail.

My two favorite maritime YouTubers collab on my favorite ship adventure story. God is good I love you guys!❤

If this collab turned into a series, I would not be mad at ALL.

I Was On The Bounty Back In 2010!!!
It was a great great honor. I’ve been fascinated with the Story of the Bounty since I was 6 years old. I was 8 when Titanic fascinated me. I was heartbroken when the Bounty Replica sank in 2012. Thank you guys for doing this video. I’ve been watching your work since 2016.

Our friend Mike Brady and Safety Sam in a collab. This is epic and not to be understated as to how much quality is on display. Great stuff.

I was so confused to see two channels I follow doing videos on the same topic, thinking perhaps it was something nefarious. But oh joy, it's a collab!

[Jessa-RM]

Thrilled for this collab. Brick Immortar, Oceanliner Designs, and Part-time Explorer are my favorite channels, I always love when their channels cover the same maritime incidents.

The loss of the HMS Bounty was a very painful episode for me. I walked her decks, I climbed up to the crowes nest, I spent many wonderful hours admiring this gallant lady. I live in St. Petersburg where she was moored during the winter. I come from a different country and, as a child, I was fascinated by the novel and the film. I never, in a million years, expected that I would walk a gangway to board her. I wish I had the means to rescue her from the deep blue.

I didn't want this collab...












I NEEDED IT!!!

Well done. Roger Donaldson's 1984 film, "The Bounty, " is very underrated. It might have the most stellar cast of Academy Award and Emmy winners of any film in history. The film includes Anthony Hopkins, Mel Gibson, Daniel Day-Lewis, Liam Neeson, Sir Laurence Olivier, Bernard Hill, Edward Fox, etc. The script by Robert Bolt ("Lawrence of Arabia, " "Doctor Zhivago, " "A Man for All Seasons, " "The Mission, " etc.) is well-devised. The score by Vangelis ("Blade Runner, " "Chariots of Fire, " "Alexander, " etc.) is amazing.

Don’t see YouTubers collaborate often, awesome to see your support for each other. Great job guys, well done on another captivating story 😁

The Bountys both involved in arguably the greatest adventure in naval history, the mutiny and its aftermath.

Super underrated channel. I could care less about boats, and I still never miss an upload.

Edit: I couldN'T care less.

[kevinking]

Oh hey, its my friend Mike Brady, from Oceanliner Designs

[whyjnot]

Bligh's open boat voyage after the mutiny will never cease to amaze me. It was an astonishing feat of navigation and given how successful he was, speaks volumes as to his actual leadership ability.

[roadweary]

Brick Immortar is an underrated channel. Nicely done, gentlemen!

What an excellent surprise this collab is! Having grown up as a nautical geek just outside Lunenburg and being quite proud of Bounty as yet another famous example of our local handiwork, I remember very clearly how when the first brief headlines about "Bounty sunk by Hurricane Sandy" began to pop up amidst the greater storm destruction headlines out of the US East Coast, many folks like myself who weren't up on the Facebook page thought "Oh, what a shame, I guess it must have caught her in port and sunk her at moorings, that's too bad", only to be absolutely floored as more and more details emerged of what actually went down! Great work by you and Sam on both your videos!

Great that my two favourite maritime you tubers are collaborating. It works well.

Time travelers are very remarkable. I would have expected at most someone to have been a direct descendant or to have had a direct ancestor.

I have been aboard this amazing replica many times while it was in Miami. I saw it the first time when it was displayed in St. Petersberg FL. It had costumes and many props from the 1962 film.
