Bounty was one of several tall ships landing at Mackinac Island this week as ships paricipating in the Great lakes United Tall Ships Challenge made their way to the Baylake Bank Tall Ship Festival in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Bounty was sailing from Thunder Bay, Ontario and calls Greenport, New York home. The 180-foot, full-rig ship was built in 1960 for the movie “Mutiny on the Bounty” with Marlon Brando and modeled after the original Bounty, which was used by the British Admiralty in the late 1700s. The ship has also been featured in Disney's “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.” Behind her at the Arnold Dock is the 118-foot Unicorn, a top-sail schooner from St. Croix, Virgin Islands. She is distinguished by her all-female crew. She was built in 1947 in Holland from This week in St. Ignace German U-boat metals.
