Bounty a Victim of Hurrican Sandy, two People missing

[joyful_molly]

It’s with great sadness that we’ve learned of the sinking of the Bounty off the coast of North Carolina, making her a victim of Hurricane Sandy. Fourteen people were rescued by the Coast Guard; two, Capt. Walbridge and Claudene Christian, are unfortunately still reported missing.

Bounty was a replica of the famous original HMS Bounty built in

Oh no, I was lucky enough to visit Bounty in 2009 - lovely ship with loads of interesting history. And how sad that people are missing. Scary stuff.

The US Coast Guard found Claudine earlier today, and she was in her survival suit but unresponsive. They are still looking for Capt. :-( NBC news here had footage of the rescue. Bravery of the Coast Guard members is exceptional.

Horrible storm. :-(

Now they're reporting Claudene is dead. So heartbreaking!
