During the voyage of HMS Bounty from Tahiti to bring the breadfruit
plant to the West Indies, Fletcher Christian led what became the
most infamous mutiny in seafaring history. Perhaps better known
today through Hollywood depictions, the story of the events
surrounding the date of 28 April 1789 is told here by William Bligh
(1754-1817), the ship's commander. This reissue includes as an
appendix Bligh's first narrative of the mutiny, published in haste
in 1790 with the intention of following it with a separate account
of the events leading up to the mutiny. The main text comprises the
revised, fuller version he published instead in 1792, citing 'the
manifest convenience' of having everything in one continuous
narrative. The reasons behind the mutiny remain to this day a
subject of debate. Undeniable, however, is that Bligh's is a
remarkable tale of seamanship and survival.
