HMS Bounty was built in Hull at the end of 1784. June 8, 1787 was her first commission. She was 90 feet 10 inches long with a beam of 24 feet 4 inches and a draft of 11 feet 4 inches. She was sent to the Pacific Ocean to acquire breadfruit plants and transport them to British possessions in the West Indies under the command of William Bligh. That mission was never completed, due to a mutiny led by the acting Master, Fletcher Christian who sailed the ship to what is now called Bounty Bay and settled there. To prevent the ships detection, and anyone's possible escape, the ship was burned on 23 January 1790
Measures 37 inches long by 10 inches wide by 30 inches tall. Every piece of this beautiful shop is handcrafted with exceptional attention to detail.
