The H.M.S Bounty was armed by English Admiralty under the command of Captain
BLIGH to bring in the pine trees inside the American colonies. In 1789, the
H.M.S Bounty put into Tahiti so as to complete its shipment. Just as it was
going to make sail, the crew, led by the second officer lieutenant FLETCHER,
was excited to rebellion and the forced Captain BLIGH and some faithful non-commissioned
officers to get on board a ship's boat in which they traveled 3600 miles,
this being a unique achievement in the history of navigation.
