Has the HMS Bounty already been involved in Pirates 4 filming?
Well, I thank all of you for being patient with us the last couple of weeks as the entire staff of Mouse Extra has been on vacation on the coast of Maine. It is an absolutely gorgeous place to go, and we all love it, but it is also very difficult to obtain internet service on a regular basis. So please forgive us for disappearing for a while.
While there, we once again came across this wonderful vessel pictured below. She is the HMS Bounty, and she was built in 1960 for the Marlon Brando film classic “Mutiny on the Bounty”. In recent years she has been refitted in Boothbay Harbor, Maine and has been used in a certain set of Pirate films starring Johnny Depp.

Here she is pictured tied up on the Kennebec River in Bath, Maine, a river best known for being the launching point of Benedict Arnold’s invasion of Quebec. The local legend has it that the Bounty has been asked once again to be used in the fourth installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean films and has recently “vanished” for a few weeks, perhaps for some filming that is being kept secret. I can’t verify any of this. It could be true, or could just be another fish story.
