WE do remember the pier in Saint Pete. There was a very old ship moored...

That was a replica of the Mutiny of the Bounty ship that was built in 1960 for the 1962 movie. After filming it was docked at The Pier in downtown St. Pete until the mid-80s as a tourist attraction. Sometime in the early 60's I remember going there on a school field trip and thinking, this is much smaller in person. I had totally forgot about that visit until I read in the newspaper last year the ship was lost off the coast of North Carolina during Hurricane Sandy.
