A third-generation clone of a breadfruit tree in the twenty-first century collection of the gardens came from an original plant brought in 1793 by Captain William Bligh (of Bounty fame). In 1787-88 Captain Bligh made his ill-fated voyage on the "HMS Bounty" to Tahiti to collect breadfruit and other useful plants for the West Indies. Undaunted by the notorious mutiny of his first crew, Bligh again set sail for Tahiti aboard . He completed his mission in Kingstown, St. Vincent on January 23, 1793 with plants from the South Seas. The Botanic Garden's Curator Alexander Anderson took great care of these plants, and the success of all those efforts is evident from the widespread distribution of breadfruit, the most useful food plant throughout the West Indies.
