This rebellion on a British vessel in 1789 sparked the voyages of H.M.S. \u003ci\u003ePandora\u003c\/i\u003e--dispatched to track down the mutineers and return them to England for court-martial--and the \u003ci\u003eMatavy\u003c\/i\u003e, a schooner built by the mutineers in Tahiti.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This is the first book to include eyewitness accounts from five men who endured these voyages. Presented in overlapping, chronological order are the first publication of a narrative by a member of \u003ci\u003eMatavy\u003c\/i\u003e's crew, who vividly describes a desperate struggle to survive with meager provisions among islands filled with hostile natives. A previously unpublished poem by an anonymous sailor on \u003ci\u003ePandora\u003c\/i\u003e recounts the ship's sinking, the survivors' tortuous journey to the Dutch East Indies, and their return to England. The captain's unedited statement on the loss of \u003ci\u003ePandora\u003c\/i\u003e is included and appendices summarize the \u003ci\u003eBounty\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePandora\u003c\/i\u003e courts-martial and the later history of each narrator.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46455612702871,"sku":"9781476679389","price":3706.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781476679389.webp?v=1769175533","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/chasing-the-bounty-the-voyages-of-the-pandora-and-matavy-9781476679389","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
