Kenneth, I missed the crash of the Bounty on Wednesday (camera hadn't arrived yet!), but got some shots of the repair crew. 5 or 6 guys hanging around the top of the masts on Thursday. This is not what you want to do if you are afraid of heights!
The ship was a replica of the original British sailing ship built for the Hollywood movie 'Mutiny on the Bounty'. A tug boat moved her to a mooring spot along the river and apparently miscalculated. Even with the bridge up, the ship needed to come precisely thru the middle of the bridge and was about a car length off center. Regards, Bob S.
