Bester Preis: € 176,51 (vom 08.01.2018)Captain Bligh's Portable Nightmare: From the Bounty to Safety—4,162 Miles across the Pacific in a Rowing Boat (1789)
ISBN: 9781510729209 bzw. 1510729208, in Englisch, Skyhorse Publishing, neu, E-Book, elektronischer Download.
At dawn on April 28, 1789, Captain William Bligh and eighteen men from HMS Bounty were herded onto a twenty-three-foot launch and abandoned in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Thus began their extraordinary journey to Java. Covering 4,162 miles, the small boat was battered by continuous storms, and the men on board suffered crippling illness, near starvation, and attacks by islanders. The journey was one of the greatest achievements in the history of European seafaring and a personal triumph for a man who has been misjudged by history. Captain Bligh's Portable Nightmare reveals Bligh?s great mapmaking skills, used to particular effect while he was exploring with Captain Cook. We discover his guilt over Cook?s death at Kealakekua Bay. We learn of the failure of the Bounty expedition and the myths that surround the mutiny led by Lieutenant Fletcher Christian, the trials and retributions that followed Bligh?s return to England, his successes as a navigator and as a vice admiral fighting next to Nelson at the Battle of Copenhagen. Combining extensive research with dazzling storytelling, John Toohey tells a gripping tale of seafaring, exploration, and mutiny on the high seas, while also dismissing the black legend of the cruel and foulmouthed Captain William Bligh and reinstating him not just as a man of his times but as a true hero.

biographies,engineering,england,europe,history,leaders and notable people,military,military science,naval,ships, Captain Bligh's Portable Nightmare: From the "Bounty" to Safety - 4, 162 Miles Across the Pacific in a Rowing Boat, 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. Through the narration of the journey John Toohey skilfully interweaves the story of Bligh's life and re-evaluates his reputation in history. Toohey speculates on the unwritten truths of Bligh's life - his guilt over Captain Cook's death in Kealakekua Bay, the myths surrounding the Bounty expedition, the trials and retributions that followed his return to England, fighting next to Nelson at the Battle of Copenhagen. John Toohey reveals Bligh as a man of his times, misunderstood by later generations. Combining extensive research with story-telling, this is an extraordinary tale, an intriguing biography and a wonderful piece of history.
