A Voyage to the South Sea, for the Purpose of Conveying the Bread-fruit Tree to the West Indies

On 28 April 1789, on board HMS Bounty, Fletcher Christian led what became the most infamous mutiny in seafaring history. Originally published in 1790 and 1792, the two works reissued here together give the full story of the voyage, as told by William Bligh (1754-1817), the ship's commander.
