Bounty was built as a movie prop in 1960 for the 1962 MGM release of Mutiny on the Bounty. This makes Bounty different than many tall ships in that her "tween" deck has 8' foot ceilings. This made it easier for the film crew. As a result, Bounty has been hired for many films and documentaries. From Treasure Island and Yellowbeard to Sponge Bob, Square Pants, the Movie, to Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest to name a few.
