We were runnin' against the wind
We were young and strong, we were runnin'

The Bounty Replica
The ship that was built for the 1962 film "Mutiny on the Bounty" arrived in Plymouth a few days ago. She was built from the original ship's drawings, on file in Admiralty archives. She was constructed in the traditional manner but all the dimensions were scaled up by approximately one third.
Plymouth's link with the Bounty is that Captain Bligh was born here in September 1754, although the residents of the lovely Cornish village of St Tudy will give you a pretty convincing argument that he is one of theirs. For the full story of the ship, the events of the mutiny, etc. Follow this Link
I'll post some more pictures of her tomorrow.
