General note | The official account of the complete voyage of the Bounty, the expedition intended to transplant the breadfruit tree from Tahiti to the West Indies in order to feed the slave population. Incorporated in the text is a revised version of the Narrative of the mutiny, which Bligh had published separately in 1790. The breadfruit and its properties are described in detail. The publication of the voyage was overseen by Sir Joseph Banks; James Burney edited the text and saw it through the press as Bligh was otherwise engaged on his second breadfruit voyage. |
