"History records that on April 28, 1789 Fletcher Christian led a mutiny of the crew of the HMS Bounty . Captain William Bligh and eighteen other men were put aboard a 23 foot launch south of the island of Tofoa in the South Pacific.Afraid of sailors' stories of cannibalism and human sacrifice among islanders in this part of the Pacific, Bligh and his men began a journey of more than 4,000 miles that ultimately led them back to England. And what became of Christian? It is equally well known to historians that he and his crew settled on Pitcairn Island, where descendants of the Bounty still live more than 2 centuries later. What isn't well known is that historical records indicate Fletcher Christian escaped Pitcairn and also returned to England.

The Curse of the Somers retells the greatest controversy in the history of the U.S. Navy of the early American Republic, a plotted mutiny by the son of the Secretary of War.

This book vividly reconstructs the circumstances of this fascinating story, drawing from a rich historical record and from the investigation of the ship's sunken remains.
Reveals how poor governance and everyday forms of organization resulted in mutiny amongst seamen during the Age of Sail.
'Dramatic and compelling . Mutiny has a slow, measured, meditative pace all of its own' Independent on Sunday
A detailed and riveting account of the U.S. Navy's greatest mutiny and its wide-ranging cultural and historical impact The greatest controversy in the history of the U.S. Navy of the early American Republic was the revelation that the son of the Secretary of War had seemingly plotted a bloody mutiny that would have turned the U.S. brig Somers into a pirate ship. The plot discovered, he and his co-conspirators were hastily condemned and hanged at sea. The repercussions of those acts brought headlines, scandal, a fistfight at a cabinet meeting, a court martial, ruined lives, lost reputations, and tales of a haunted ship bound for the devil and lost tragically at sea with many of its crew. The Somers affair led to the founding of the U.S. Naval Academy and it remains the Navy's only acknowledged mutiny in its history. The story also inspired Herman Melville's White-Jacket and Billy Budd. Others connected to the Somers included Commodore Perry, a relation and defender of the Somers' captain Mackenzie; James Fenimore Cooper, whose feud with the captain, dating back to the War of 1812, resurfaced in his reportage of the affair; and Raphael Semmes, the Somers' last caption who later served in the Confederate Navy. The Curse of the Somers is a thorough recreation of this classic tale, told with the help of recently uncovered evidence. Written by a maritime historian and archaeologist who helped identify the long-lost wreck and subsequently studied its sunken remains, this is a timeless tale of life and death at sea. James P. Delgado re-examines the circumstances, drawing from a rich historical record and from the investigation of the ship's sunken remains. What surfaces is an all-too-human tale that resonates and chills across the centuries.
