In 1787, the Royal Navy ship H.M.S. Bounty, captained by William Bligh, set sail for Tahiti in search of breadfruit plants. Soon after leaving Tahiti, Master's Mate Fletcher Christian led a successful revolt. In his journal, fellow mutineer James Morrison recounts the Bounty's voyage from his perspective as the boatswain's mate. This event, however, simply introduces Morrison's remarkable journey through the South Seas.
