Bounty – July 8th, 2008 – Port Angeles, Washington
In July of 2008, a photographer named Robert Demar took a two-day trip aboard Bounty from Port Angeles, WA to Port Albernie, B.C.; taking over 2,000 photographs of the ship and her crew along the way. With all the recent attention on the hearings and the discussions about what went wrong or didn’t and who was or wasn’t to blame, Mr. Demar thought maybe some would simply like to see the ship as she was: I know I did. Mr. Demar was kind enough to send me his favorite images from that sail and asked me to give them a home: here they are. It is very easy to see why her crew was drawn to her.
Amazing group of photos! Is there a way to see these as a slide show, rather than clicking on individual images to see the larger version? Thanks to Robert Demar for sharing his work. They are stunning!
I’ll put that up tomorrow.

It's a bittersweet thing to see the beautiful pictures you took of the Bounty, Robert. You did a great job. They are lovely.
Thanks to Mssrs. Demar and Vittone for making these available!
beautiful pictures of a beautiful ship.
Glad I had the opportunity to climb aboard during Tall Ships 2010, and work under some of her most excellent crew on another ship.
Beautiful, thank you for sharing. She will be missed dearly.
Are there any pictures of her inner sides?
She was beautiful! Outstanding photographs. To see all the lines on such a ship, gives a real appreciation to the blessing that so many got free of it when she listed…I can see how it could have been much worse, and how the ability to get clear of the rigging needed to be accounted for in the decision to abandon.
I went searching and found some photographs of Bounty in Drydock from 2001 as she received new white oak planking below the waterline. Picture thread here: http://www.kennand.com/BountyRefit.htm
How appropriate and wonderful to remember her beauty instead of her demise. Thank you gcaptain.
Thank you. It’s been since the mid-1960′s that I last felt the Bounty’s wood and lines. Great pictures of the belay racks, blocks, and people. Seeing them in action brings back dear old feelings that can never be forgotten. Thanks for putting it out where we can all enjoy. She is beautiful.
HMS Bounty was no more special than the all the world's tall ship, replica sailing vessels. Everybody is drawn to them. The mystique is a fabrication of the recreational sailor.
