"Commodore Sir John Hayes (bapt. 11 February 1768 - 3 July 1831) was an English officer of the Bombay Marine of the British East India Company. Hayes was born in Bridekirk, Cumberland, England, the son of Fletcher Hayes and Elizabeth Martin. On 7 December 1781, at age 13, he joined the Bombay Marine as a midshipman on the Bombay. On 6 February 1793, he sailed from Calcutta on a private trading voyage with two chartered ships, the Duke of Clarence of 250 tons (bm) and 14 guns and the Duchess, an armed snow of 100 tons (bm). The goal was to collect nutmeg from New Guinea. However, on passing Timor, due to adverse winds he decided to navigate around the south coast of Australia and resupply with wood and water at Adventure Bay in Tasmania. He spent some time exploring the area of the River Derwent, unaware that it had already been charted by Antoine Bruni d'Entrecasteaux. He (re)named many geographic features, generally using the names of officers in the East India Company or his shipmates. Some of these names survive to the present day, including the River Derwent itself and Risdon Cove. Leaving Tasmania on 9 June, he arrived at New Caledonia on 28 June and explored the coast until leaving for New Guinea on 3 July. He was the first European to land on Rossel Island. He died in the Coco Islands, in the Bay of Bengal, while en route to Calcutta, aged 63. His only son, Captain Fletcher Fulton Compton Hayes, was killed in Awadh during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.…

London, Longmans, Green and Co., 1920. Vortitel, Titel, S. (V)-XVIII, 1 Bl. (Officers of the "Providence"), 290 S., 1 Bl. (Druckvermerk). Mit 1 Frontispiz und 16 Abbildungen und Karten. Original-Leinenband mit goldgeprägtem Rückentitel, gr. 8°. Rücken gleichmäßig ein wenig geblichen. Ein gutes, sauberes Exemplar! 1787 begann Blighs sagenhafte Reise auf der Bounty, deren Zweck es war, Brotfrüchte zu den Westindischen Inseln zu bringen ? eine Idee, die auf Joseph Banks zurückging. Nach 5-monatigem Aufenthalt auf Tahiti begann Anfang April 1789 die Rückreise. Drei Wochen später meuterte die Mannschaft. Der Anführer des Aufstandes war Fletcher Christian. Bligh wurde zusammen mit 18 ihm treuen Besatzungsmitgliedern in einem Boot ausgesetzt und schaffte es, die 6700 km bis Timor unbeschadet zurückzulegen ? eine navigatorische Meisterleistung. 1790 betrat er wieder britischen Boden, wurde als Held gefeiert und von jeder Schuld an der Meuterei freigesprochen. Bligh gab nicht auf und seine zweite, hier beschriebene Brotfruchtexpedition, dieses Mal auf der "Providence", begleitet von der HMS Assistant, von 1791-1793, verlief erfolgreich. Die Meuterei auf der Bounty schlug in der Öffentlichkeit so hohe Wellen, dass sie das weitere Wirken Blighs überschattete. So blieb seine zweite - und dieses Mal erfolgreiche - Brotfruchtexpedition weitgehend unbeachtet und Blighs Reisebericht erschien erst 1920 - ganze 130 Jahre nach dem eigentlichen Ereignis. Ida Lee, Herausgeberin des Werks schreibt in ihrer Einleitung (Auszug): The second voyage of Captain Bligh to the South Sea, so far as I know, has never been published. A short description of the passage of his ships, the "Providence" and the "Assistant," through Torres Strait, was included in his work Terra Australis, by Matthew Flinders, who served as a midshipman in the "Providence". These particulars, however, were taken from Flinders' own log. Written in 1791-93 Bligh's log-books, after being for some time at the Admiralty, were lent to the Great Exhibition of 1851. They were not afterwards returned to Whitehall, but remained at South Kensington undisturbed and unsought for, until Mr. Perrin, the present Admiralty Librarian, to whom my cordial thanks are due for permission to transcribe them, recovered the forgotten volumes and replaced them in the Admiralty Library. Interest in this second voyage of Bligh may possibly have been over-shadowed by the popularity of the story of his first voyage, which included the "Mutiny of the Bounty'". Dampier, Anson, and Cook on returning to England had given glowing accounts of the virtues of the breadfruit, and in 1787, when King George III. complied with a request from the merchants of the West Indies to introduce the tree into those islands, Bligh was placed in command of the ship chosen to carry out this object.. …
