When the ship arrives, it may tie up to the dolphins located just outside the ICW channel inside the inlet before approaching the city marina, said Sam Adukiewicz, harbormaster for the City of St. Augustine.
“There are, of course, concerns about the 13-foot draft,” Adukiewicz said. “So we’ve suggested they wait until high tide.”
Adukiewicz also said the ship’s rigging may present a challenge getting through the Bridge of Lions.
“They’ve been advised of the horizontal clearance through the bridge, and I’m sure they’re going to have it all worked out,” he said. “We’re looking forward to their safe arrival and hope they enjoy their stay in St. Augustine.”
Aduckiwicz said he’d seen the ship in films and would enjoy seeing her up close.
In the 1962 MGM film, Brando portrayed Fletcher Christian. Howard was cast as Bligh, and the movie also starred a young Richard Harris. When the movie premiered in the U.S., it opened to mostly negative reviews. Although it was the sixth-highest grossing film of 1962, it lost money because of its runaway $19 million budget.
