邦蒂号的叛变

 邦蒂号的叛变

Paul King

早在20世纪30年代,就有一部大片,几乎每年都会出现在圣诞节的电视节目表上。 它讲述了1789年发生在一艘英国船上的著名兵变的故事,这实际上是一个真实的故事。

叛变的确切原因尚不清楚,但船长对他的部下的苛刻和粗暴待遇被认为是一种可能的解释;尽管如此,当时船上的条件非常艰苦。

这艘船是 "邦蒂 "号,船长是威廉-布莱。

威廉-布莱于1754年9月9日出生在普利茅斯,15岁时加入海军。

他的职业生涯 "多姿多彩",并被詹姆斯-库克船长亲自挑选为 "中国 "号帆船的航海船长。 决议 在1772年至1774年期间,他在第二次环游世界的航行中。

他在1781年和1782年的许多海战中服役,1787年底,他被约瑟夫-班克斯爵士选为邦蒂号的指挥官。

对那些人来说 赏金 布莱是一个苛刻而残酷的任务负责人,大副弗莱彻-克里斯蒂安和其他船员一样,在旅程中变得越来越叛变。

ǞǞǞ 赏金 他奉命从大溪地采集面包果树,并将其带到西印度群岛,作为那里的非洲奴隶的食物来源。

大溪地是一个美丽的地方,当离开该岛的时候,船员们不愿意说再见,这是可以理解的。

因为船员们似乎被大溪地女人的魅力所迷惑,(显然大溪地被称为友好岛不是没有道理的),这使得恶劣的条件下的 赏金 这让人更加难以接受。

1789年4月,许多水手发生了哗变;他们的头目是弗莱彻-克里斯蒂安。 其结果是布莱船长和他的18名忠诚的船员被放在一艘敞篷船里,被哗变者放在太平洋上漂流。

他在船上可能是个暴君,但布莱船长是个出色的海员。

在乘坐敞篷船行驶了近4000英里后,布莱把他的人安全地带到了东印度群岛的帝汶岛上,考虑到他们是在没有海图的情况下漂流的,这是一个相当惊人的航海壮举。

目前还不知道这艘船发生了什么事 赏金 在兵变者于1790年到达南太平洋的皮特凯恩岛之后。

然而,众所周知,稍后一些哗变者返回大溪地,被抓获并受到惩罚。 留在皮特凯恩岛的人组成了一个小殖民地,在约翰-亚当斯的领导下保持自由。

目前还不清楚弗莱彻-克里斯蒂安的遭遇。 人们认为他和其他三名哗变者可能已经被塔希提人杀害。

与此同时,布莱船长事业蒸蒸日上,1805年他被任命为澳大利亚新南威尔士州州长。 然而,他的严格纪律再次证明人们难以接受,他阻止酒类进口的政策激起了 "朗姆酒叛乱":那又是一次兵变

布莱被逮捕,这次是被叛变的士兵逮捕的,一直被关押到1809年2月,然后于1810年5月被送回英国。

这并没有结束他的辉煌事业;他在1814年被任命为海军上将。

他于1817年12月7日在伦敦的家中去世。
