The ship was built for the 1962 film version of "Mutiny on the Bounty," starring Marlon Brando, and appeared in the 2006 blockbuster "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest."

Sad to say, but two lives have been lost--the captain and Claudene Christian, a descendent of Fletcher Christian.

yes, I read that in the news.
I thought the ship was actually larger, but I just checked stats and it was just 215 tons. It was apparently hit by a giant wave.

So this isn't the actual ship commanded by William Bligh?
