Chasing the 'Bounty' - The Voyages of the 'Pandora' and 'Matavy'
Year: 2020 Language: english Author: Maxton D.A., Du Rietz R.E. Genre: History Publisher: McFarland ISBN: 147667938X Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 201 Description: Popular films about the Bounty mutiny only scratch the surface. This rebellion on a British vessel in 1789 sparked the voyages of H.M.S. Pandora--dispatched to track down the mutineers and return them to England for court-martial--and the Matavy, a schooner built by the mutineers in Tahiti. This is the first book to include eyewitness accounts from five men who endured these voyages. Presented in overlapping, chronological order are the first publication of a narrative by a member of Matavy's crew, who vividly describes a desperate struggle to survive with meager provisions among islands filled with hostile natives. A previously unpublished poem by an anonymous sailor on Pandora recounts the ship's sinking, the survivors' tortuous journey to the Dutch East Indies, and their return to England. The captain's unedited statement on the loss of Pandora is included and appendices summarize the Bounty and Pandora courts-martial and the later history of each narrator. Additional info: About the Author Donald A. Maxton retired from a 35-year career of writing, editing and designing newsletters, magazines, brochures, and educational material for corporations and hospital systems. He has written and edited three books and eight articles about the mutiny on H.M.S. Bounty, and delivers presentations on the subject. He lives in Springfield, New Jersey, and New York.
