HMS Bounty to star at Southampton Boat Show
30 May 2007
Originally famous for appearing in the 1962 classic Mutiny on the Bounty starring Marlon Brando, HMS Bounty will be at the SBS for the duration before she sets off on an historic voyage to Tahiti and Pitcairn Island.
Boat show visitors will be able to board this historic vessel, which has played a featured role in the Disney blockbuster Pirates trilogy, and learn more about the most infamous mutiny of all time, which saw Fletcher Christian take control of the ship more than 200 years ago.
They will see the exhibition below decks on the infamous mutiny and the building of the ship, with the crew on hand to answer any questions.
Professional actors will be aboard playing Captain Bligh and Fletcher Christian in 'street entertainment' style performances to entertain visitors.
No doubt the ladies will be pleased to hear an actor playing Johnny Depp’s character Captain Jack Sparrow will stalk guests and stumble around the ship.
‘Such an attraction will generate mass appeal and we’re expecting HMS Bounty to prove a real hit with all the visitors to the show,’ said NBS director of marketing, James Gower.
