"A ship featured in the Hollywood classic “Mutiny on the Bounty” is among four newly announced attractions coming to Green Bay this summer.
Organizers of the Baylake Bank Tall Ship Festival announced today that the festival will include the H.M.S. Bounty, which also was used in the more recent movie “Pirates of the Caribbean II.”
The festival scheduled for Aug. 13-15 on the Fox River is expected to draw 75,000 people.
A dozen ships will be showcased, including the previously announced S/V Denis Sullivan and Unicorn.
In addition to the H.M.S. Bounty, the lineup announced today includes: Amistad, a floating classroom about the American slave trade; Roseway, which focuses on marine ecology education; and Pride of Baltimore II, a top-sail schooner.
The rest of the lineup will be announced in April.
The festival, which is being produced by PMI Entertainment Group, will include interactive ship tours, sailing opportunities on some ships, maritime music and children’s entertainment.
