CAPE HATTERAS, N.C. – The Coast Guard has received word that the crew of a sinking vessel, the HMS Bounty, has abandoned ship approximately 90 miles southeast of Hatteras.

The 17 person crew donned cold water survival suits and lifejackets before launching in two 25-man lifeboats with canopies.

The Coast Guard is continuing to monitor the situation and assess the weather conditions to determine the soonest the Coast Guard crew from Elizabeth City can be on scene to rescue them.

Coast Guard Sector North Carolina initially received a call from the owner of the 180-foot, three mast tall ship, late Sunday evening saying she had lost communication with the vessel's crew.

"Built for the 1962 movie "Mutiny on the Bounty” with Marlon Brando, HMS Bounty sails the country offering dockside tours in which one can learn about the history and details of sailing vessels from a lost and romanticized time in maritime history. Since her debut in "Mutiny on the Bounty”, HMS Bounty has appeared in many documentaries and featured films such as the Edinburgh Trader in Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Mans Chest with Johnny Depp. "
