Overview

This time-honored classic, written in 1790, is William Bligh's vivid account of a routine voyage to Tahiti that turned into a world-famous mutiny. Cast from his ship by ringleader Fletcher Christian, Bligh and 18 seamen journeyed thousands of miles to the nearest port in a perilous struggle for survival.

Captain William Bligh recounts his experiences in 1789 when his ship "Bounty" was taken over in a mutiny and he and a crew of eighteen men were set adrift in an open boat in the southern Pacific Ocean.
