This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Bligh, the captain aboard HMS Bounty, tells of the chaos that led to he and eighteen loyalists being cast off in a small boat by mutineers, and the desperation he and his crew faced in getting to safety. One of the most shocking and infamous episodes in naval history, the mutiny on the Bounty is recounted in Bligh's memoir, which is adapted from his own logbook notes and records. Even in his own words, Bligh is a man who believes in firm discipline; as the Bounty falls behind schedule in its mission to transport breadfruit for cultivation in the West Indies, his measures grow more stringent and severe. Although Bligh's account notes the increasingly severe rationing that took place aboard ship, he is preoccupied with navigational progress and completing his duties in a timely manner. His descriptions are detailed and matter-of-fact, and his regime of overbearing discipline is not held to be immoral or in any way a mark of poor leadership. Indeed, this book is more concerned in depicting the astonishing and speedy progress the loyalists made to reach safety at a Dutch port. The mutineers, whose part in this book ceases with Bligh's eviction, would resettle on Tahiti and Pitcairn Islands, having previously enjoyed respite there. Led by Fletcher Christian, several eventually married local women and raised families, and their descendants have been traced to the modern day. William Bligh was acquitted of wrongdoing and rose from the rank of Lieutenant to become a Vice-Admiral in the Royal Navy. The incident returned to the public's attention in the 1960s, when a popular Hollywood film retold the story. Marlon Brando famously played the role of the discontented but charismatic Fletcher Christian, while Trevor Howard took up the role of a disciplinarian and obstinate Bligh. Attitudes to Bligh as the villain of the Bounty's story have softened in recent years, with scholars noting that he possessed a great degree of naval competence.

This book was released on 2012-10-30 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mutiny on the Bounty was a mutiny aboard the British Royal Navy ship HMS Bounty on 28 April 1789. The mutiny was led by Fletcher Christian against commanding officer Lieutenant William Bligh. According to most accounts, the sailors were attracted to the idyllic life on the Pacific island of Tahiti and were further motivated by harsh treatment from their captain. Eighteen mutineers set Lieutenant Bligh afloat in a small boat with eighteen of the twenty-two crew loyal to him. The mutineers then variously settled on Pitcairn Island or in Tahiti and burned the Bounty off Pitcairn Island, to avoid detection and to prevent desertion. Bligh navigated the 23-foot (7 m) open launch on a 47-day voyage to Timor in the Dutch East Indies, equipped with a quadrant and pocket watch and without charts or compass. He recorded the distance as 3,618 nautical miles (6,710 km). He then returned to Britain and reported the mutiny to the Admiralty on 15 March 1790, 2 years and 11 weeks after his original departure. The British government dispatched HMS Pandora to capture the mutineers, and Pandora reached Tahiti on 23 March 1791. Four of the men from the Bounty came on board soon after its arrival, and ten more were arrested within a few weeks. These fourteen were imprisoned in a makeshift cell on Pandora's deck. Pandora ran aground on part of the Great Barrier Reef on 29 August 1791, with the loss of 31 of the crew and four of the prisoners. The surviving ten prisoners were eventually repatriated to England and tried in a naval court.

Book excerpt: A trip across the Pacific turns into a life or death scenario when the crew of the HMS Bounty stages a revolt against their commander. The Bounty Mutiny tells the controversial story of the mutineers and the acting lieutenant who sparked a movement. Commanding Lieutenant William Bligh was instructed to use the HMS Bounty to transport breadfruit plants to the West Indies. He worked alongside skilled colleague Fletcher Christian, who was selected to be acting lieutenant. During their time at sea, the crew experienced many challenges with complaints of abuse and tyranny at the hands of Bligh. This eventually leads to a mutiny, in which Christian and the crew take control of the vessel. This harrowing tale is one of the most adapted events of all-time. Over the past century, it has been interpretated across multiple mediums including five feature films starring George Cross, Errol Flynn, Clark Gable, Marlon Brando and Anthony Hopkins. It’s an enduring story that continues to fascinate and provoke the masses. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Bounty Mutiny is both modern and readable.
