The tall ship HMS Bounty was here in Gloucester to celebrate the annual Gloucester Schooner Festival. A few weeks later she sank during Hurricane Sandy off the coast of North Carolina. Fourteen of her crew was saved with the loss of her captain Robin Walbridge and crew member Claudene Christian. Here is a collection of photographs of the HMS Bounty and the Parade of Sail of 2012.
