Description
This replica of HMS Bounty, also known as HM Armed Vessel Bounty, was a small merchant vessel that the Royal Navy purchase in 1787 for a botanical mission. The ship was sent to the South Pacific Ocean under the command of William Bligh to acquire breadfruit plants and transport them to the West Indies. The mission was never completed owing to the 1789 mutiny led by acting lieutenant Fletcher Christian. This digital image was remastered from my original Kodak Ektachrome slide.
