<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 31, 2012) The winds and waves of Hurricane Sandy this week took down an 18th century replica sailing ship used in three Hollywood films.   On Monday, the Coast Guard rescued 14 of the HMS Bounty&apos;s crew off the coast of North Carolina.    Claudene Christian, a crew member, was found unresponsive in the ocean off the North Carolina coast Monday evening.  She was one of two crew members believed washed overboard when the Bounty began taking on water.  Authorities say captain Robin Walbridge is still missing.Walbridge had sailed the HMS Bounty all over the world, including the Galapagos, Holland, and British Columbia.Two years ago, Walbridge and his crew docked the Bounty at Ogdensburg, while on their way to the Great Lakes United Tall Ships Challenge.    Walbridge told Todd Moe that sailing the St. Lawrence was a favorite trip.

<title>Down the St. Lawrence in a paper boat</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20194/20120725/down-the-st-lawrence-in-a-paper-boat</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jul 25, 2012) Rowboats are a common sight on the St. Lawrence River, but a paper skiff is making its way through the Thousand Islands and down river to Montreal this week. The 17-foot boat was made by a group of New York City artists at the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton. The urban artist/boat builders spent the last two weeks using the museum&apos;s collection and resources to build a new boat and learn more about the boating culture on the St. Lawrence. Their residency is a partnership with the museum&apos;s current exhibition of maritime-inspired art, called &quot;Floating Through: Boats and Boating in Contemporary Art.&quot;The artists are members of a Brooklyn collective called &quot;Mare Liberum&quot; and approach boat building in a non-traditional way: cheaply and quickly. With a little help from experts at the museum, they completed the boat in two weeks. But, a skiff made of paper? Could it really be rowed 168 miles past islands, through shipping channels and the St. Lawrence Seaway? Todd Moe stopped by the Antique Boat Museum late last week during the final stages of construction.

<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 23, 2012) Imagine racing over a frozen lake on a wind-powered sled, hitting speeds that top 40 miles an hour. Ice sailing is a big sport in winter and the north end of Lake Champlain has a growing reputation as one of the best venues in the northeast. Our Champlain Valley correspondent Sarah Harris headed out on the ice to give it a try.

<title>Sailing at CORK, in Kingston, Ontario</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/16149/20100818/sailing-at-cork-in-kingston-ontario</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 18, 2010) Kingston, Ontario has a number of claims to fame: a brief stint as a colonial capital, the home of prestigious universities, and a massive, limestone penitentiary that opened back in 1835. Wind is another resource – one that brought windmills to near-by Wolfe Island in the last few years. Each August, sailing enthusiasts from around the world come to Kingston for something called CORK: Canadian Olympic-training Regatta, Kingston.  Top-level races that create lovely views of sails gliding back and forth across Lake Ontario.Last year, Lucy Martin spent an overcast day at CORK and got a taste of what that&apos;s like, with or without wind.

<title>HMS Bounty in Ogdensburg</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/15831/20100618/hms-bounty-in-ogdensburg</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 18, 2010) The sailing ship used in three Hollywood films has dropped anchor in the North Country.  The HMS Bounty is docked in Ogdensburg on the St. Lawrence River this weekend while on its way to the Great Lakes United Tall Ships Challenge.  It was built in 1960 for the remake of the movie &quot;Mutiny on the Bounty&quot;, starring Marlon Brando and was used more recently in one of the &quot;Pirates of the Caribbean&quot; films with Johnny Depp.  Tours of the ship are available throughout the weekend.  Todd Moe spoke with Captain Robin Walbridge on the main deck of the Bounty on a blustery afternoon.  Walbridge says his 180-foot ship is a &quot;good replica&quot; of an 18th century British sailing ship, but larger than the original.

<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 5, 2006) The Picton Castle sets sail today down the St. Lawrence River, on its way to the Carribean Islands. It&apos;s a 100-foot tall ship retrofitted like a commercial sailing ship of the 19th century.  And for a fee, you can ride aboard, as a member of the crew. The Picton Castle is a training ship, owned by a company in Nova Scotia. About 40 &quot;trainees&quot; will set sail this year. They&apos;ll help stand watch, and take workshops in seamanship, navigation, and the other arts of square-rig sailing. Gregory Warner stopped by the ship when it was docked in Kingston, Ontario. He met a former crew member, revisiting the ship after a long absence.
