At dawn on 28 April 1789, William Bligh and eighteen men from the 'Bounty' were herded onto a twenty-three foot open boat and abandoned in the middle of the Pacific. It was the beginning of an epic six-week voyage of 6,705 kilometres to Timor, which involved attacks by Islanders, continuous storms, crippling illnesses and near starvation. Along the way Bligh, haunted by the memory of the death of James Cook in the Pacific ten years earlier, found out that not all his enemies had remained on the 'Bounty'. After the boat reached the Australian coast there was almost another mutiny. Bligh's success in bringing the survivors to Timor was a personal triumph and one of the great achievements in the history of European seafaring.
