This text is the account of an extraordinary journey, a great achievement in the history of European seafaring and a personal triumph for a man that has been misjudged by history. At dawn on 28 April 1789, Captain William Bligh and 18 men from the Bounty were herded onto a 23-foot boat and abandoned in the middle of the Pacific.

It was an amazing feat of navigation and discipline that involved attacks by islanders, continuous storms, crippling illness and near starvation. ISBN: 9781841150789. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
