Save The Bounty replica built in 1978

A faithful replica of one of history’s most iconic ships — HMS Bounty — now sits deteriorating in Bangkok. Without immediate help, this piece of maritime heritage could be lost forever.

We need to rescue and restore the deteriorating replica and return her to a permanent heritage role based between the West Indies and the UK, reflecting the full historical journey of the original Bounty and its significance to British and Caribbean history. The restored vessel will serve as a floating museum and cultural education platform, preserving the global legacy of the Bounty story, from shipbuilding in Britain to breadfruit in the Caribbean.

This is more than ship repair. It’s cultural repatriation, historical preservation, and a tribute to the people of the Caribbean whose stories were shaped by this journey and impacted on the years after.

The Mutiny on the Bounty is one of history’s most famous sea tales. But few remember why the ship set sail. The ship was commissioned to bring breadfruit from Tahiti to the Caribbean, where it was intended as food for enslaved people during colonial rule. By restoring this ship and bringing it to Grenada ( where breadfruit is very culturally significant), we reconnect the Bounty story to Caribbean history, agriculture, food resilience and the legacy of resistance, survival, and culture.

We are the World Spice Museum CIC . A group of passionate Caribbean, Australian and British maritime heritage supporters, historians, and shipbuilders committed to giving this iconic vessel a second life — not as a movie prop, but as a living, breathing symbol of Caribbean history, culture, and resilience.

Help us rescue this icon and complete the journey that history left unfinished before it is too late.
