THE exhibition runs from March 17 to December 31 at the National Maritime museum in Falmouth and remembers a notable West Countryman and significant national figure, in the 200th anniversary year of his death.
It tells a story that challenges the more commonly known Hollywood depiction and brings to life one of the greatest small boat survival stories in history featuring relics from the voyage and a specially built reproduction of the Bounty launch, giving a very real sense of the situation of the 18 men who sailed it over 3600 nautical miles across the Pacific.
Following on from previous exhibitions at the Museum, such as Viking Voyagers, with #CaptainBligh the Museum once again takes a globally important story, and explores the Cornwall context, in this case Bligh’s Cornish roots.
The in-house build of the Bounty launch is part of a programme of reconstructions of historical craft in the Museum’s own boat building workshop.
