Mutiny Press Pack

For the first time, 9 men are setting out to make the same gruelling journey of the Mutiny on the Bounty in a replica 23ft wooden boat, with the same rations, facing the same conditions - to measure themselves against history.

For company, they will have Bligh's own words – in the form of a detailed Journal he kept which remarkably survived the voyage. The Journal will help them uncover the secrets of survival and to get a closer understanding of Bligh’s epic feat.

The men bring skills that mirror those of Bligh’s crew.  Amongst them are a carpenter, a doctor, and several specialist sailors.  Anthony Middleton, of SAS: Who Dares Wins is stepping into Captain Bligh’s shoes as leader of the expedition.
