What’s the Bounty thing about?

Here's a couple of FR links to the story plus YouTube video of the rescue of 14 of the crew:

Wow. Well it's a shame. I had no idea. The ship in the movie Mutiny on the Bounty was definitely magnificent.

I'm kind of flabbergasted that they would keep such a treasure out on the Outer Banks where it's not a matter of if but when a category "desolation" hurricane will wipe out everything in its path. I would think something like that would be kept out of harm's way in a protected harbor like New York or on the west coast.
