HMS Bounty Dockside Tours
Step aboard the Bounty during our dockside tours and you
will step back through 200 years of maritime history.
As a working 18th-century square-rigger and a replica of one of the world's most famous ships, the Bounty has a host of stories to tell and history to teach. Still an actively sailing ship, the Bounty takes on the role of a living museum in her dockside tours. Guests can learn how the ship works today from the crew members that sail her, as well as see how sailors lived and worked 200 years ago. In addition to being skilled sailors, the Bounty crew is knowledgeable in maritime history and movies. Once on deck, pay close attention to the ship's wheel. Used in both the 1935 and 1962 movie versions of Mutiny on the Bounty; It is a piece of movie history all by itself. Note the names of the cannons, Flynn, Gable, Brando, and Gibson; each one of these actors had their turn portraying Fletcher Christian. Enter the dimly lit world below deck; you will see the cramped conditions that sailors endured more than 200 years ago, as well as the relative luxury enjoyed by the captain and officers. Lend an ear and listen to the crew tell tales of long ago, how sailors lived aboard and the way they were treated. As you pass the officers' cabins and step into the great cabin, you will begin to learn about the world's most famous mutiny from the interpretive displays and from the crew members stationed there. Whether you spend 20 minutes or an hour on board, you will look back with a greater appreciation of the Bounty, her historical past and the dreams she still inspires today. A combo ticket is available that includes both the HMS Bounty dockside tour and admission to the St. Augustine Pirate & Treasure Museum.
