  6. The photo's on this site are not always correct. if you study the ones on this page you will see that the top photo and the bottom photo are the Pandora and the middle three are the bounty. I knew Google would point to this page and it would be assumed that it was the Lily(bounty).
  7. Antony gets it, Originally named Ottilie Fjord, built at Fairhaven, Calif. in 1892 by the Danish-born Master Shipbuilder Hans Ditlev Bendixsen. The Nanuk was first used by MGM during the filming of the film Eskimo in 1933. Then She was converted to look like HMS Pandora for the 1935 Movie Mutiny on the Bounty. She also portrayed the Hispaniola in the Wallace Beery film version of Treasure Island. Your turn.
  8. No sorry Danny. I knew Google would get it wrong. I tried it myself and got the same answer. Not the Lily.
