THE LIFE OF VICE-ADMIRAL WILLIAM BLIGHGeorge MackanessVice-Admiral William Bligh FRS RN (9 September 1754 - 7 December 1817) was an officer of the British Royal Navy and a colonial administrator.
He is best known as "Captain Bligh" of Mutiny on the Bounty fame. The mutiny was against his command, and he is well remembered for the remarkable voyage he made to Timor, after being set adrift by the mutineers in the Bounty's launch.
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.
This culminated in the Rum Rebellion led by Major George Johnston working closely with John Macarthur.
