A stunning model of the historic HMS Bounty 1787 ship (29.5 x 37.5cm) in great condition

This stunning and beautifully assembled model replica of the historic HMS Bounty 1787 ship is in great condition and measures 37.5cm long x 29.5cm high x 9cm wide. The HMS Bounty, also known as HM Armed Vessel Bounty, was a small merchant vessel that the Royal Navy purchased in 1787 for a botanical mission. The ship was sent to the South Pacific Ocean under the command of William Bligh to acquire breadfruit plants and transport them to the West Indies. That mission was never completed owing to a 1789 mutiny led by acting lieutenant Fletcher Christian, an incident now popularly known as the mutiny on the Bounty. The mutineers later burned Bounty while she was moored at Pitcairn Island. An American adventurer rediscovered the remains of the Bounty in 1957; various parts of it have been salvaged since then.
