Authentic history of the Mutineers of the Bounty

  • AU PMB MS 99
  • Colección
  • 1820 - 1821

Samuel Greatheed (d.1823) was one of the founders of the London Missionary Society. This work, written under the pen-name Nausistratus, was published as a series of articles in the Sailor's Magazine and Naval Miscellany, London, 1820-21, Vol.1, p. 402-6 and 449-56, and Vol.2, p. 1-8. It deals with the Bounty mutiny and its aftermath.

The work is based on printed sources, the then-unpublished journal of James Morrison of the Bounty, and verbal communications from an officer of HMS Pandora, which was sent to the Pacific to find and arrest the Bounty mutineers. It includes a number of details not published elsewhere. For a brief account of Greatheed's interest in Bounty matters, see Rolf Du Rietz's Note sur l'Histoire des Manuscrits de James Morrison in Journal de James Morrison, Paris, 1966.

Captain William Driver (1803-1886) was born Salem, Massachusetts, USA. He went to sea aged 14, and made his first voyage to Fiji in quest of beche-de-mer in September, 1872, in the ship Clay under Captain Benjamin Vanderford. He spent 49 months in the South Seas beche-de-mer trade before returning to Salem. Given command of the Charles Doggett, he sailed for the Pacific again in January, 1831. He remained at sea until 1837 when he retired to Nashville, Tennessee.

The logbook is for the voyage of the Charles Doggett. It begins on January 30, 1831, when the ship was 2,098 sea miles from Salem en route to New Zealand, and ends in March, 1832, when the ship was gathering a cargo of beche-de-mer in Fiji. In the interval, calls were made at Tubuai, Tahiti (French Polynesia), Pitcairn Island, Samoa, Tahiti and Niuatoputapu (Tonga). Driver's visit to Pitcairn Island from Tahiti was for the purpose of returning 65 descendants of the Bounty mutineers, who had been moved from Pitcairn to Tahiti four months earlier as it was feared that their island was becoming overpopulated. Driver describes this episode in some detail in an 1871 memoir accompanying his logbook of the Charles Doggett.
