註釋This text is the account of an extraordinary journey, a great achievement in the history of European seafaring and a personal triumph for a man that has been misjudged by history. At dawn on 28 April 1789, Captain William Bligh and 18 men from the Bounty were herded onto a 23-foot boat and abandoned in the middle of the Pacific. Captain Bligh's Portable Nightmare is the extraordinary story of the 6705 kilometre journey that the boat made to Java. It was an amazing feat of navigation and discipline that involved attacks by islanders, continuous storms, crippling illness and near starvation.
