Photo: HMS Bounty Organization, LLCThe BBC report that HMS Bounty, the tall ship which stars as the Black Pearl in the second and third instalments of the Pirates of the Caribbean films, starring Johnny Depp, is setting sail for Cumbria.
Built in 1962 for the film Mutiny on the Bounty, starring Marlon Brando, the ship is due to arrive in August 2007.
Later, "HMS Bounty will visit Liverpool, Bristol and London before setting sail from Portsmouth to re-create the original Mutiny on the Bounty voyage to Tahiti via Tenerife, Cape Town and New Zealand," says the report.
The Bounty: The True Story of the Mutiny on the Bounty, tells us that Bounty departed England on December 23, 1787 and, after a rough passage, arrived at Santa Cruz, in Tenerife.
