The sinking of the Bounty

I'm not a sailing man (that would be my brother), but it's sort of sad to read the account of the sinking of the Bounty:

'Bounty Loves Hurricanes': A Legendary Ship's Final Hours Battling Sandy: As Hurricane Sandy approached the East Coast in late October, Captain Robin Walbridge wanted to save his ship, the legendary Bounty. He set out to sea to ride out the storm -- a decision which ended in disaster. He lost the ship, a crewmember and his own life.
