PORT ANGELES — It might have been a few days late, but the HMS Bounty made a movie star’s fashionable appearance at Port Angeles Harbor on Sunday evening.
The Bounty, built in 1960 for MGM’s “Mutiny on the Bounty” — the Marlon Brando version — was expected to arrive in Port Angeles on Friday, but had to stop for repairs in Coos Bay, Ore., on its way north from California.
“We had a hard time with the wind and storms coming around Cape Blanco (Ore.) — there were gusts of about 40 knots, and we really burned a lot of fuel,” Capt. Robin Walbridge said.
Walbridge, who has been with the Bounty for about 14 years, said the ship will likely not be open for tours during her two-night stay in Port Angeles.
“We expect to head to Victoria on Wednesday morning,” Walbridge said.
