I toured the replica of Bounty with my family in St. Petersburg, Fla. in the late '70s.

I just looked her up and she was lost off the coast of North Carolina ten years ago during Hurricane Sandy tragically with two lives lost.

I wish I had been a more observant kid back then as sadly I have little memory of it.
