William Bligh

    9 september 1754 – 7 december 1817

    William Bligh was een officier van de Britse Royal Navy wiens carrière werd gekenmerkt door buitengewone gebeurtenissen. Hij is berucht om zijn commando tijdens de muiterij op de HMS Bounty, waarna hij en zijn loyale mannen een opmerkelijke reis ondernamen naar Timor nadat ze te kijk waren gezet. Later, als gouverneur van New South Wales, probeerde hij de corrupte rumhandel te hervormen, wat leidde tot de Rumopstand. Zijn leven weerspiegelt een dramatische kruising van zeevaartverkenning en koloniaal bestuur.
