I can't believe that people in those days used to travel in boats such as these. Imagine all the lives that were lost at sea with boats like these sank to the bottom? The days before 'GPS' or coast guard patrols. :o

On October 25, 2012, the vessel left New London, Connecticut, heading for St. Petersburg, Florida, initially going on an easterly course to avoid Hurricane Sandy.

On 29 October 2012 at 03:54 EDT, the ship's owner called the United States Coast Guard for help during the hurricane after she lost contact with the ship's master.  The ship's master had reported she was taking on water off the coast of North Carolina, about 160 miles (260 km) from the storm, and the crew were preparing to abandon ship.  There were sixteen people aboard.

Vice Admiral Parker, USCG, reported the ship had sunk and fourteen people had been rescued from life rafts by two rescue helicopters.  The storm had washed the captain and two crew overboard—one of the latter had made it to a life raft, but the other two were missing.  They wore orange survival suits complete with strobe lights, thereby giving rescuers some hope of finding them alive.  Claudene Christian, one of the two missing crew members and a descendant of the original Bounty's Fletcher Christian, was found by the Coast Guard. She was unresponsive, and rushed to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.

The other missing crew member was long time Captain Robin Walbridge.

May the Lord God grant rest to Captain Walbridge. Requiem In Pacem!
