Whoever thought taking an 1800's ship out to sea right into the path of an on-coming hurricane should be force to walk the plank...

Arrrr.....

OK, first, it's not an 1800's ship - it's the HMS Bounty from the 1962 movie "Mutiny on the Bounty." So, it's a relatively modern, replica, ship.

Second, most ships go to sea, vs staying in port, during a hurricane. Slamming ships into those big, non-moving things called continents tend to do more damage than the big sloshy thing.

Could they have picked a better route? Probably. Or maybe just kept it in port, anchored somewhere? I'm sure there will be all sorts of questions afterwards.

(this is meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but I have a feeling it's coming off as sarcastic/rude. Sorry)
