HMS Bounty was abandoned 90 miles SE of Hatteras.  14 of the 16 crew members have been rescued.

Here are photos of the ship from when I was in Belfast Maine in August.  One interesting thing about that stop for the boat is that they performed a Man Overboard Drill that was monitored by a Coast Guard team.
