    I'm just starting this book.. I was thinking it's an uneven read, but I will stick it out, because as you say it gives a really good background history of the time, and the Spanish/English political situation.

    Here's a link to the relief fund started by 2 Bounty crewmembers to help their mates. They were not on board the night she sank. They have their own page, likely due to the nastiness on the HMS Bounty Facebook page. Help the Bounty crew - who lost everything. Remember HMS Bounty, Captain Robin Walbridge, and Claudene Christian. http://www.facebook....28425227218198/

    The things being said on the Bounty's Facebook page are awful- even knowing full well that the families of the crew read them, uninformed people still continue to make nasty comments. There is a time to deconstruct what happened..now is not it, when there is still a missing person...
  18. Gunpowder Gertie
    so that bit of hope is gone too...

    And yet- the fact that she's wallowing at all, and hasn't slipped beneath the waves is incredible. Is it oo much to hope she may yet survive? In one pictrue her bow is still above the waves. Looks like she has sustained mast damage...but she is still battling the sea.

    She was a descendent of Fletcher Christian...

    Matty- I saw the sentiments you posted about on the web. Some of them made me sick. I can't believe that such vile and bitter thoughts could be posted, especially as there are still missing. One confirmed dead, now..we must now continue to hope her Captain is found.
  22. Gunpowder Gertie
    Hold fast to hope for her Captain!
  23. Gunpowder Gertie
    Aye!
  24. Gunpowder Gertie
    Dancin' on the ceiling, Mate!
  25. Gunpowder Gertie
    I don't know if I'd want to be on a rolling deck in those heels.....
