Subject: 'Mutiny on the bounty' gives an unforgettable picture of the British navy at the time of Nelson; it describes the historical voyage, the mutiny which Captain Bligh brought upon himself in the south seas, and the days of idyllic happiness which followed for those of the crew who returned to stay at Tahiti before they were captured and brought back to England to stand trial as mutineers.Subject: 'Men against the sea' is the story of the nineteen loyal men who, with Captain Bligh at the helm, were set adrift by the mutineers in the ship's longboat. It is the account of their 3,600 mile voyage in an open boat, one of the greatest feats of courage and endurance in the annals of the sea.Subject: 'Pitcairn's Island' is the chronicle of those mutineers who escaped capture and, fleeing from the world with their native wives, found refuge in the loneliest island of the Pacific. They lived undiscovered for eighteen years and in that time founded a primitive community whose peace was shattered by a struggle of bitter vengeance.
