Luckily for Bligh, his skills as a navigator were better than his skills as a captain and <strong>he managed to sail the 23ft boat 3,618 nautical miles to Timor<\/strong> in the Dutch East Indies <strong>with no chart or compass and only a quadrant and a pocket watch<\/strong> for navigation. On returning to England he reported what had happened and <strong>the Royal Navy hunted down and captured most of the mutineers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>However, this is only half the story &ndash; William Bligh&#8217;s version. The captured mutineers went on trial and their testimonies give a much less heroic portrait of their former captain, accusing him of <strong>unduly harsh treatment<\/strong>. Fletcher Christian&#8217;s older brother Edward, a judge, oversaw a more balanced account of the mutiny. Of the mutineers who returned to England, <strong>only three were hanged<\/strong>; four were acquitted and three pardoned.<\/p>\n<p>This book gives<strong> the fullest version of the mutiny<\/strong>, allowing Bligh&#8217;s account to sit alongside those of his detractors. The discrepancies are fascinating and allow us to make up our own minds about this infamous mutiny.<\/p>\n<p>Also includes <strong>an exclusive foreword by former World Sailor of the Year Pete Goss<\/strong>, who offers a unique perspective on the trials and tribulations of the Bounty&#8217;s crew, whether castaway or mutineer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Comprising an account by Lieutenant William Bligh, the vessel&#8217;s master, with responses by Edward Christian, lawyer and brother of mutineer Fletcher Christian.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Edition: 2014<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"autore\"><span>Author: <\/span>william bligh<\/p>\n<p class=\"editore\"><span>Publisher: <\/span>adlard coles nautical (bloomsbury publishing)<\/p>\n<p class=\"isbn\"><span>ISBN: <\/span>9781472907219<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":118524,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2805],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-118526","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-logbooks-and-travel-reports","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"taxable","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"purchasable","13":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
