Tampa Bay Times article, in part:
The Bounty, the tall ship that used to call St. Petersburg home, sank on Oct. 29, 2012, in Hurricane Sandy off the coast of North Carolina, and a federal report released Monday pinned most of the blame on longtime captain and former St. Petersburg resident Robin Walbridge and his decision to sail toward the storm.
Of 16 members of the crew, two died — deckhand and novice sailor Claudene Christian, 42, and Walbridge, 63, whose body was never found.
The report from the National Transportation Safety Board is the first of two that are expected. The Coast Guard's report isn't finished yet. Both agencies had investigators who asked questions last February in Portsmouth, Va., at a week-and-a-half-long hearing.
