As reported by the USCG the replica ship HMS Bounty was abandoned by its crew in Hurricane Sandy
The story as reported (so far) by Fox News:

Update - apparently 14 crew rescued, two missing, the ship apparently sank :

What is curious is that they say 17 souls were on board, yet they have only accounted for 16.
