Mutiny on the Bounty


Today is the 219th anniversary of the Bounty mutiny. I am celebrating Bligh's incredible navigational skills and his success in reaching landfall after a journey in an open boat of over 3,000 miles. I don't have much to say about the mutineers. Most of them met a sorry end.

You can tell where my sympathies lie.

Are you related? Inquiring minds want to know!

Yes, although I have not done the research myself. My great aunt was the one actively looking into the family genealogy.
