* Fourteen crew members pulled safely from life rafts

* Search continues for captain of stricken ship

By Harriet McLeod

Oct 30 (Reuters) - A crew woman who was pulled from the water after the replica ship HMS Bounty sank during Hurricane Sandy has died, a spokesman for a North Carolina hospital said on Tuesday.

Fourteen other crew members were rescued from life rafts in the Atlantic Ocean and the Coast Guard was still searching for the ship's captain.

Claudene Christian, 42, was unresponsive when rescuers pulled her from the sea and hoisted her aboard a Coast Guard helicopter on Monday afternoon. She was taken to Albemarle Hospital in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, where she died, spokesman Patrick Detwiler said.

The 16-member crew donned orange neoprene survival suits and life jackets and abandoned the replica tall ship about 90 miles (145 km) southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, after it began taking on water and lost propulsion.

The three-masted, 180-foot (55-meter) ship, which was built for the 1962 movie, "Mutiny on the Bounty," sank.

Rescuers pulled 14 crew members from the rafts and took them safely to shore. Christian and the missing captain, Robin Walbridge, 63, were washed overboard before they could make it onto the rafts.

The ship was on its way from New London, Connecticut, to St. Petersburg, Florida, and was about 160 miles (260 km) from the eye of the hurricane when it foundered.

I remember we had Hurricane Wilma a few years back. Had no power for 4 weeks, no cable for 6. Luckily for us the weather was cool.

On the bright side of things, in these times when everyone is in the same boat, you get to know your neighbors that you never spoke to before.

made it through the whole storm with power ftw, the storm defiantly wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be, well for my part MD at least

some of those pics from NYC are crazy though

Hoping the best for all of the NT family up in the North East. Here in Florida we get hurricanes year after year, but we have construction codes and emergency plans formulated from years of experience that allow us to prepare accordingly. I can't imagine being in a region so densly populated and having something like this happen.Stay safe!

Hope the entire NT fam is safe.

Cannot believe some of the surrounding areas by me and how badly they were affected. I'm extremely fortunate to have had nothing happened by me. Just big branches in the middle of the street and a huge piles of leaves by my doorstep and backyard.

Here in Forest Hills there was minimal damage and I was lucky enough to never lose power, hope everybody else effected is aight.

 

[sighfur]

Chiming in here from the Jersey Shore. Things are really bad down here. No one has power, seaside, ortley beach, lavallette and surrounding ocean fronts are pretty much under water. There are floating houses down RT 35. More inland has downed trees and flooding, mass power outages. Sandy hit us bad. Looks like everyone else got hit bad also. Stay strong NT.

I'm hearing Bloomberg aiming to get buses back up as early as tomorrow?

 

[chino905]

Bloomberg on tv now. Lets see what's goin to happen to NYC.

 

[je ne sais quoi]

Lost partial power, but thankfully the kitchen still got power, so a few extension cords helping me out in the rest of the crib.

Verizon and FiOS out, so I'm posting on my phone.

Pretty messy outside, either a neighbor's tree or wind damaged part of my fence. Hopefully that's the extent of any damage I receive.

I'm guessing your house uses two power grids? Never heard of partial power outage before.

Nah, we on ConEd and there's two lines that go to my crib from the lines outside, and one of those lines got tugged out by that b_ Sandy.

Got no power to the whole second floor and parts of the first.

After 12hrs, finally got my FiOS back on.

My block was hit hard. No power, a lot of fallen trees and flooding. A bunch of my neighbors' cars are done for. Managed to save my car but our other 2 cars may be done. Can't even drive out of here since 2 trees are blocking the only street entrance.
