FLYERS & BROCHURES
Printed material offers a glimpse into how the 1978 Bounty was presented to the public throughout her life.
This collection brings together promotional pamphlets, visitor brochures and voyage literature connected with the ship, from her construction in New Zealand to her later appearances and sailing activities.
These publications document more than the ship herself. They reveal how her story was shared with audiences, how she was presented as a historical reconstruction, and how she became part of wider maritime events.
Every surviving piece of printed material adds another fragment to the Bounty's story.
The collection grows as original material is located and documented.
