Captain William Bligh commanded a crew of 44 sailors on the HMS Bounty during its infamous voyage in 1787. However, after the mutiny led by Fletcher Christian in April 1789, Bligh and 18 loyal crew members were set adrift in a small boat. Ultimately, only Bligh and 1 other crew member survived the perilous journey to safety.
