DOWNLOAD EBOOKA story of pursuit, retribution and disaster at sea The story of the mutiny of the crew of the Bounty led by Fletcher Christian is well known. That story and Captain Bligh's endurance in an open boat is available from Leonaur. The Royal Navy, however, were not about to allow such an outrage go unpunished and it despatched HMS Pandora to bring the culprits to account. The Pandora's voyage-told here in two contrasting accounts-is no less remarkable than that of the Bounty itself. After many trials including the capture of some of the mutineers it too ended in disaster. An essential book for all those interested in the Royal Navy during the great age of sail.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWho has not heard of the mutiny on the Bounty? For two hundred years this event has fired the imagination of millions of people, countless books have been written on it, and five motion pictures—so far—dramitized it on the screen. This book is unique in the literature on the mutiny and is the first companion volume to the story. The first part, the Bounty Chronicle, gives a panoramic, yet detailed, month-by-month account of the events, starting before the Bounty’s departure and ending with Fletcher Christian’s death on Pitcairn Island. It even chronicles Captain Bligh’s second breadfruit expedition of which so many people are unaware. The second part of the book, the Bounty Encyclopedia, is full of all the exciting and fascinating details surrounding this great story.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA unique travelogue in which the author journeys to Pitcairn Island—of Mutiny on the Bounty fame—with detours to eighteenth-century Tahiti and beyond. It started with a coconut . . . In the early hours of April 27, 1789, Fletcher Christian, master’s mate on the HMS Bounty, took a coconut from a pile on the quarterdeck. This random, seemingly inconsequential act set in motion a snowballing series of events that culminated in a revolt. In this strikingly original book, equal parts travelogue, memoir, and time-travel adventure, Diana Souhami moves across time and place, from eighteenth-century Tahiti to modern-day Pitcairn Island, from Knightsbridge to Tauranga, Mangareva to Tubuai. Along with Fletcher Christian, the sprawling cast of characters includes the unforgettable Captain William Bligh, who is cast adrift in an open boat on ferocious seas with eighteen men and no maps or supplies. Along the way, Souhami also introduces us to Pitcairn Island sex offenders, the Native American crew of a seventeen-thousand-ton ship called the Tundra Princess, her own elderly mother, and a mysterious lesbian aristocrat known as Lady Myre. Weaving together history, destiny, and chaos theory, this captivating adventure is for anyone who has ever yearned to travel to an exotic, faraway place.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Story of the mutiny of HMS Bounty is one of the best known from the annals of maritime history. In 1789 Captain Bligh and members of his officers and crew were forced into the ship's boat and cast adrift in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. They survived after sailing and rowing nearly 4,000 miles to Timor. Meanwhile, the Bounty reached Tahiti, where some of the mutineers decided to stay, while the remainder, commanded by Fletcher Christian, continued to the isolated Pitcairn Island, where they sank the ship to avoid detection. After learning of these events the British admiralty sent HMS Pandora to deal with the mutineers. HMS Pandora was a 24 gun frigate built in 1779 and commanded by Captain Edward Edwards. The vessel left England in November 1790 and rounded Cape Horn to reach the Pacific. In 1791 the Pandora reached Tahiti and arrested 14 mutineers there. Finding no more mutineers, the Pandora headed back for England. The nearest way back was through the Torres Strait - the narrow and shallow passage between Australia and New Guinea. Near the northern tip of the Great Barrier Reef, this area is full of submerged coral rocks with only a few navigable passages. The Pandora hit one of the rocks and sank, but most of the crew and prisoners survived and continued in the ship's boats to Batavia. Later, the mutineers were tried in London and some were hanged. The voyage of the Pandora was recorded by Captain Edward Edwards and by the ship's surgeon, George Hamilton. Their stories are fascinating and immediate and have gripped generations of readers since the day they were published.
