The year is 1789 In the central Pacific Ocean the crew of Her Majestys Ship Bounty mutinied against their captain William Bligh and cast him adrift with 18 other men in an open boat 150 kilometres from Tonga In an extraordinary feat of seamanship and navigational skill Bligh proceeded to pilot the packed longboat through the cannibalinfested Fiji islands and across to the Australian mainland landing on Cape York after a dangerous entry through what is now Bligh Passage After a brief stay and fearful of the local Aboriginal people he set sail again arriving in Dutch Timor from where he and his men took a ship back to England
