What happened to captain bligh after the BOUNTY incident, and did he go back to sea.?
The ever helpful Wikepedia tells us: William Bligh FRS RN (9 September 1754 – 7 December 1817) was an officer of the British Royal Navy and colonial administrator. He is best known as “Captain Bligh” for the famous mutiny that occurred against his command aboard HMS Bounty, and the remarkable voyage he made to Timor, on the Bounty’s launch, after being set adrift by the mutineers. Many years after the Bounty mutiny, he was appointed Governor of New South Wales, with a brief to clean up the corrupt rum trade of the NSW Corps. He had some success in his task but quickly faced opposition, which culminated in the Rum Rebellion led by Major George Johnston working closely with John Macarthur. Although William Bligh was certainly not the vicious man portrayed in popular fiction, some claim his over-sensitivity and acid tongue damaged what would have otherwise been a distinguished career. From other sources I believe this to be fair comment.
