| On an April morning in 1789 near the island of Tonga, William Bligh and eighteen surly seamen were expelled from the Bounty and began the greatest open-boat voyage in history, sailing some 4,000 miles to safety in Timor. The mutineers, led by Fletcher Christian, sailed off in the Bounty and were never heard of again. Contains: the full text of Bligh s Narrative of the Mutiny, the minutes of the court proceedings gathered by Edward Christian in an effort to clear his brother s name, and the correspondence between Bligh and Christian, and a selection of later Bounty narratives. |
