All 17 crew members have been rescued from the replica of a famous ship that was in distress 160 miles from the eye of Sandy.
Those aboard HMS Bounty were taken to safety via life rafts after helicopters were sent to the location but the ship is still stranded.
Coast Guard Sector North Carolina received a call from the owner of the 180ft, three mast ship, saying she had lost communication with the vessel's crew late on Sunday evening.
An air crew arrived on the scene and regained contact with the ship after receiving a signal from the emergency position indicated beacon registered to the Bounty.
Tracie Simonin a spokesperson for HMS Bounty, which had been heading for Florida, said: "Our main concern was to save the crew members. The ship has been abandoned and now the coast guard will assess whether it can be saved."
There are 40mph winds and 18ft waves reported at the scene, which is 90 miles southeast of Hatteras in North Carolina.
The current Bounty was built for the 1962 movie Mutiny on the Bounty with Marlon Brando and has since appeared in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.
The original Bounty is known for the mutiny that took place in Tahiti in 1789.
