“He said ‘Well, you can always say you worked your way up from the bottom.’” The ending first “They had me cleaning the toilets so that nobody thought I was a captain’s son,” Boyd laughs. When Tom Boyd was 10, in 1979, his father put him to work. My name’s Hugh Boyd, I’m bosun on the Bounty and I’ve been with this barnacle-bottomed old wind harpy ever since she came down the ways in Lunenberg, Nova Scotia in 1960 and kissed into the Atlantic. Say, if you’ve got a minute to spare and are partial to a little yarnin,’ I’ll tell you why that is. Ah, you could drop a sea-bag in any port in the world, and not see the likes of the ship you’re aboard right now.

Say, have you noticed a special kind of flavor in the air since you came? Why it’s oakum, tar, black spruce, oak, pine and manila … yes, and even old sweat. The Bounty was Tom’s second home.įrom memory, he can recite the narration that greeted visitors once they’d purchased their tickets, a recording of his dad’s voice giving a simple, easy-to-understand history lesson: The memories are even more visceral for Tom Boyd, whose own father was captain of the ship and general manager of the exhibit.
