Beyond the
Bounty: A biography of the Royal Navy officer from "a master of the maritime narrative" (
The Sydney Morning Herald).
The eighteenth century was an era when brave mariners took their ships beyond the horizon in search of an unknown world. Those chosen to lead these expeditions were exceptional navigators, men who had shown brilliance as they ascended the ranks in the Royal Navy. They were also bloody good sailors.
From ship's boy to vice-admiral, discover how much more there was to Captain Bligh than his infamous bad temper. Meet a twenty-four-year-old Master Bligh as he witnesses the demise of his captain and mentor, Cook; a thirty-four-year-old Lieutenant Bligh at the helm of the famous
Bounty then cast adrift by Fletcher Christian on an epic forty-seven-day open-boat voyage from Tonga to Timor; and a thirty-six-year-old Captain Bligh as he takes HMS
Providence, in the company of a young Matthew Flinders, on a grand voyage to Tahiti and back.
This book goes beyond the character we've seen in movies-into the real life of a complex and remarkable seaman.
