First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. London, Printed for George Nicol, 1792. Quarto, [x], 264 pages plus a stipple-engraved portrait frontispiece, 3 plates (2 folding) and 4 charts (3 folding). Early tree calf, later rebacked, retaining the gilt-tooled backstrip; edges sprinkled red; covers lightly scuffed and slightly worn at the corners; frontispiece somewhat soiled and spotted, and later mounted on archival paper; plates, charts and adjacent leaves generally offset and foxed, with several a little creased and weakening about the folds; scattered light foxing; overall, a very good copy. The revised, official account of the voyage of the 'Bounty', including the mutiny and Bligh's subsequent voyage in the ship's launch with eighteen loyal crewmen. 'In their small boat Bligh and his companions made a remarkable journey of more than three and a half thousand miles from Tofoa to Timor in six weeks over largely uncharted waters. What is not so well known is that in the course of this hazardous journey Bligh took the opportunity to chart and name parts of the unknown north-east coast of New Holland as he passed along it - an extraordinary feat of seamanship . [An] interesting addition to any library of Australian books, not only for the direct Australian interest of Bligh's coastal discoveries while navigating in the open boat, but also because of Bligh's later dramatic association with New South Wales as governor' (Wantrup). Bligh had first published his account two years previously, in 'A Narrative of the Mutiny on board His Majesty's Ship "Bounty"' (London, George Nicol, 1790). 'Since Bligh had left on his second voyage to the South Seas in the "Providence" at the end of 1791, the official account was edited, at Bligh's request, by the historian James Burney under the direction of Sir Joseph Banks' (Wantrup) Ferguson 125; Wantrup (2023) 62a.

One of the latter shaved to the neatline along the lower edge, all the plates with a little foxing and minor creasing, a very good copy overall. Bligh's account of the infamous mutiny aboard the HMS Bounty and his subsequent escape. An accomplished seaman, in 1776 Bligh had been appointed by James Cook as master of the Resolution as part of his third and final voyage. He gained promotion to the rank of lieutenant and several important commissions thereafter, and was given command of the Bounty in 1787 and set sail for the East Indies, tasked with bringing back breadfruits and other botanical samples to British colonies in the West Indies. After a sojourn in Tahiti the voyage resumed in April 1789, before the mutiny occurred a few weeks later. Just off the coast of Tonga Bligh was set adrift in a much smaller vessel with 18 men and a very small cache of provisions. Nonetheless, as a testament to his seafaring skills, Bligh navigated his way to Timor, a voyage of over 3000 miles, incurring the loss of only one man.

First Edition
First edition of Bligh's firsthand account of "one of the most remarkable incidents in the whole of maritime history [which ultimately absolved him] from any blame that might be levelled against him because of the incident" (Hill). Quarto, original boards, lacking the spine, engraved folding plan "A copy of the draft from which the Bounty's launch was built", three engraved folding charts ÂJ. Walker after W. Harrison. In good condition. Scarce in the original boards. The HMS Bounty was acquired by the Royal Navy in 1787 to transport breadfruit plants from Tahiti (then rendered "Otaheite"), a Polynesian island in the south Pacific, to the British colonies in the West Indies. Command of the expedition was given to Lieutenant William Bligh, whose experiences included Captain James Cook's third and final voyage (1776â"80) in which he had served as sailing master, or chief navigator, on HMS Resolution. HMS Bounty left Spithead on 23 December 1787 with Bligh as captain, accompanied by a 44-man crew, two botanists, David Nelson and William Brown, and a diarist, James Morrison. Bligh reached Tahiti on 26 October 1788; after more than five months, the Bounty sailed for the West Indies laden with "more than 1,000 young breadfruit plants". On 28 April, after a few weeks at sea, Fletcher Christian, the master's mate, led sections of the crew in a mutiny and commandeered the Bounty, setting Bligh and 18 loyal crewmen adrift in a 23-foot long launch. Despite being given little in terms of navigational tools, Bligh reached Coupang modern day Kupang, Timor, then a Dutch East India settlement on 14 June 1789, after a 3,500 mile long voyage. During this "hazardous journey Bligh took the opportunity to chart and name parts of the unknown north-east coast of New Holland as he passed along it an extraordinary feat of seamanship" (Wantrup, Australian Rare Books 1788-1900). By the time of his return to England in August 1793, following his successful conveyance of breadfruit to the West Indies aboard Providence, professional and public opinion had turned against him. The present first edition of Bligh's account appeared two years prior to the full official version which pardoned him of any misconduct in the incident.
