"BOUNTY"

The famous British armed merchant-man, as re-created in meticulous detail for the 1962 movie, Mutiny on the Bounty, is displayed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer at the Marina in Flushing Bay; it can be reached by bus from Gate 2 of the Fair. The replica was built in Nova Scotia, to the plans of the 18th Century vessel.

* Admission: adults, 90 cents; children under 12, 50 cents.

 Highlights 

READY FOR THE SEA. The Bounty is shown much as the original looked when first mate Fletcher Christian seized control of the ship from Captain William Bligh in 1789. She has three masts, 14 horizontal yards and more than 10 miles of rigging. Her cannon are in place, her cabins completely furnished, her hold packed with hogsheads. The ship has traveled more than 40,000 miles under sail. Uniformed attendants answer questions.

EXHIBITS ON SHORE. A tropical exhibit area, set amid lush foliage, has a number of attractions:

¶ The survival craft is a replica of the ship's 23-foot launch, in which Bligh and 18 loyal crewmen, put adrift by the mutineers, sailed 3,600 miles to safety.

¶ The canoe of the temptresses is a 57-foot sailing canoe of the type that brought lovely visiting ladies from Tahiti to the Bounty and so helped stir up the mutiny.

¶ Bounty souvenirs, including jewelry, models and color film of the ship at sea are on sale in a thatched hut.
