Описание к видео The Mutinous Voyage of William Bligh and the Bounty's Launch

On April 4 1789, HMAV Bounty left Tahiti after a sojourn there of five months, The ship carried 1,015 breadfruit plants in pots, its great cabin fitted as a floating nursery. Bounty was already nearly 17 months out from England, and the voyage would likely last at least another year before it was likely to return to Portsmouth and home. They were bound for Jamaica. The breadfruit plants were intended to create a new food source, for the slaves on the sugar plantations on that island, and others in Britain's Caribbean colonies.
