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.
Synopsis
In a personal but objective narrative based on the Bounty's log, Bligh himself tells of the stormy voyage to Tahiti, his crew's insatiable attachment to the island paradise, and the incredible 3,600-mile journey to safety after the mutineers cast him — and 18 loyal crew members — adrift In a small, open boat with few supplies. Bligh's detractors say this narrative has many distortions and omissions: others judge it a remarkably dispassionate record. You can decide.
