William Bligh

    September 9, 1754 – December 7, 1817

    William Bligh was a British Royal Navy officer whose career was marked by extraordinary events. He is famously known for his command during the mutiny on HMS Bounty, after which he and his loyal men undertook a remarkable voyage to Timor after being set adrift. Later, as Governor of New South Wales, he attempted to reform the corrupt rum trade, leading to the Rum Rebellion. His life reflects a dramatic intersection of naval exploration and colonial administration.
