Sailing disaster author discusses tragic sinking of the Bounty - Fall River, MA - The Herald News: "Unlike the crew of the Almeisan, the Bounty’s captain and owner had ample notice of the impending hurricane and its scope, Tougias said. “I think he had a schedule and was trying to outmaneuver the storm,” Tougias said. While there was the loss of the Bounty, and two crew members did not survive, Tougias noted the fact that 14 crew members made it to the life rafts. He said it was likely Walbridge couldn’t get into the life rafts trying to help the others. “People forget how difficult it is to get into a life raft. There’s no amount of training to learn how when you’re in hurricane conditions,” Tougias said."
