Captain Bligh’s 3,600 Mile Revenge | Odd Salon MUTINY
Channel: Odd Salon
Date: 2020-09-05

April, 1789: In perhaps the single most famous mutiny in Naval history, the men of the HMS Bounty seized control and left Captain William Bligh and 18 loyal crew members adrift in a 23-foot launch with about a week's worth of food, a single quadrant and compass, and no charts whatsoever.

What happened next is one of the most extraordinary stories of survival, courage, cartographic memory, and an almost unbelievable feat of navigation driven by absolute, blinding rage.
