More than 200 years have gone by since the ship left England after dreadful weather kept it harboured for months, on its mission to transport breadfruit from Tahiti to the West Indies. The mutiny in Tahiti left the mutineers scattered about the paradise islands and found Bligh and 18 of his loyal crew members set adrift in a 23-foot open boat. Bligh, who'd served as Capt. James Cook's sailing master, fantastically manoeuvred the crew on a 48-day, 3,600-mile journey to safety. This is a FINE copy of the 1st./1st. with minimal shelf wear*. n.
