Description: Mutiny on the Bounty by William Bligh Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description In this time-honored classic, William Bligh offers his vivid account of a routine voyage to Tahiti that turned into the worlds most famous mutiny - and a perilous struggle for survival. Publisher Description Cast out from their ship by Fletcher Christian and his rebel band, William Bligh and eighteen seamen were forced to journey thousands of miles to the nearest port in a small open boat, with inadequate supplies and without a compass or charts. This time-honored classic, written in 1790, is Blighs personal account of an extraordinary feat of seamanship, in which he used a sextant, a pocket watch, and his own iron will to direct an ill-equipped vessel and crew to safety across nearly 4,000 miles of rolling sea.Blighs memoir also recounts the events of a routine voyage of scientific exploration to Tahiti that achieved legendary status when it erupted into the worlds most famous mutiny. The captains narrative offers a marked contrast to the familiar tale of film and fiction. Anyone who thrilled to the Bounty movies, along with all lovers of maritime adventure, will be captivated by this story of daring and perseverance.
