This 180-foot-long replica of the famous 18th century ship was built in the early 1960’s as a floating movie set for the 1962 Marlon Brando motion picture Mutiny on the Bounty (Two-Disc Special Edition) (). It has also been in many other films including Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (). In 2010, Bounty sailed through all five Great Lakes as part of the ASTA Tall Ships Challenge. In 2011, she visited Europe. This year, the ship is making stops at various ports on the U.S. East Coast.
