    Mutiny on the Bounty: a Piece of Colonial Historical Fiction Sylvie Largeaud-Ortega University of French Polynesia

    4 Nordhoff and Hall’s Mutiny on the Bounty: A Piece of Colonial Historical Fiction Sylvie Largeaud-Ortega University of French Polynesia Introduction Various Bounty narratives emerged as early as 1790. Today, prominent among them are one 20th-century novel and three Hollywood movies. The novel,Mutiny on the Bounty (1932), was written by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall, two American writers who had ‘crossed the beach’1 and settled in Tahiti. Mutiny on the Bounty2 is the first volume of their Bounty Trilogy (1936) – which also includes Men against the Sea (1934), the narrative of Bligh’s open-boat voyage, and Pitcairn’s Island (1934), the tale of the mutineers’ final Pacific settlement. The novel was first serialised in the Saturday Evening Post before going on to sell 25 million copies3 and being translated into 35 languages. It was so successful that it inspired the scripts of three Hollywood hits; Nordhoff and Hall’s Mutiny strongly contributed to substantiating the enduring 1 Greg Dening, ‘Writing, Rewriting the Beach: An Essay’, in Alun Munslow & Robert A Rosenstone (eds), Experiments in Rethinking History, New York & London, Routledge, 2004, p 54. 2 Henceforth referred to in this chapter as Mutiny. 3 The number of copies sold during the Depression suggests something about the appeal of the story. My thanks to Nancy St Clair for allowing me to publish this personal observation. 125 THE BOUNTY FROM THE BEACH myth that Bligh was a tyrant and Christian a romantic soul – a myth that the movies either corroborated (1935), qualified

This also is a re-make from a version of the famous story I liked this 'Mutiny On The Bounty' better than the critics did, who got annoyed at Marlon Brando's British accent. I found nothing wrong with it and I usually am critical about that sort of thing myself. Brando gave a solid performance. Trevor Howard was convincing as the sadistic "Captain Bligh" and Tarita was fair as the love interest "Maimiti. There are some beautiful shots in here, beginning with those Tahiti sunsets. The color in this movie is magnificent. Although not particularly a film you might watch over and over, I found no major fault with it except for perhaps the romance which was a bit sappy. The adventure, acting and photography were all top-notch and the three hours went by fairly fast. Did You Know? Quotes Fletcher Christian : We need only persuade the British people of something they already know - that inhumanity is its poorest servant.
  • The Story of HMS Pandora

    The Story of HMS Pandora

    The Pandora Story Although reasonably successful in her challenging mission— capturing 14 of the 25 Bounty mutineers in Tahiti—HMS Pandora came to grief on the Great Barrier Reef. She was hulled on what’s now known as Pandora Reef, and sank in 30 metres of water, 120 km east of Cape York. Many died—crew and prisoners alike. But there were many more amazing feats of survival and seamanship. In this section, we explore the events surrounding the Pandora’s final voyage … Oswald Brett's impression of the Pandora's last moments afloat. Captain Bligh's remarkable story of survival The Bounty mutineers set Captain William Bligh adrift with 18 men in an eight-metre, two-masted launch. He had been allowed to take some navigational equipment and papers, and enough food to last for five days. The 19 castaways tried to supplement their rations with food from Tofua. All but one escaped with their lives following an attack by hostile Tofuans. Fearing to make another landfall, Bligh decided to head straight for Timor-about 3600 (nautical) miles (about 6480 km) away. "We had no relief with the day save its light. The sea was constantly breaking over us and kept two persons bailing, and we had no choice how to steer for we were obliged to keep before the waves to avoid filling the boat." Dodd Bounty (Bligh's journal entry for 14 May 1789) The cold and wet conditions in the launch were agonising. The exhausted men bailed constantly. What little food they had quickly became wet and almost inedible.

    Athens Journal of Humanities & Arts - Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2020 – Pages 105-120 The Bounty᾽s Primogeniture and the Thursday-Friday Conundrum By Donald Albert* This is a biography of an obscure individual born of the ashes of the H.M.A.S. Bounty on the remote, inaccessible, and uninhabited Pitcairn Island in 1790. Thursday October Christian is best known to amateur and professional historians, philatelists, and others interested in the romance and adventure of the South Seas. He was eighteen years old when he first had contact with the outside world with the arrival of the American sealer Mayhew Folger of the Topaz in 1808. In the forty years of his life he would meet, greet, and otherwise interact with sealers, whalers, naval officers, traders, and others calling on Pitcairn. This article synthesizes these disparate encounters while exploring a name change conundrum revolving around the protagonist. Thursday October Christian was an ordinary person whose life story now lingers in disparate reports, notices, and accounts of archived and otherwise rare documents. Introduction On 28 April 1789 Fletcher Christian mutinied against Lieutenant Bligh, commander of the Bounty. Fletcher forced Bligh and eighteen crew into the Bounty᾽s launch around Tofua. Miraculously, Bligh sailed almost 6,000 kilometers to the Dutch settlement of Coupang, Timor. Fletcher and the mutineers, eventually (January 1790) encountered the mischarted, remote, and wave-inundated cliffs of Pitcairn Island (25o 04’ S, 130o 06’ W) in the South Pacific Ocean (Figure 1). 1 Fletcher Christian located Pitcairn Island even though his source had it located 342 km west from its actual location.2 The *Professor, Sam Houston State University, USA.

    The Kittitian Other in the Pacific: Edward Young, Extra-Caribbean Mobility, and Pitcairn Island

    The Kittitian Other in the Pacific: Edward Young, Extra-Caribbean Mobility, and Pitcairn Island Joshua Nash University of New England My title is an allusion to Patricia Mohammed’s (2009) paper “The Asian Other in the Caribbean” in the Caribbean studies journal Small Axe. Where Mohammed deals with an othering and migration into the Caribbean, which has altered the macro cultural landscape of micro Indianised locales specifically in Trinidad, my take deals with the smallest possible micro migration—a single individual—out of the Caribbean—specifically from the island of St Kitts— to the South Pacific—specifically Pitcairn Island—through England and Polynesia. The Caribbean cultural remnants I consider are wholly historical and linguistic. My story is both factual and speculative. In this essay I consider to what extent Caribbean-originated Bounty midshipman Edward Young’s legacy remains in the Pitcairn Island language, Pitcairn. My angle should be relevant to linguists, island studies scholars, and Pacific scholars alike. Concerning islands come questions of language. Who made the languages, from where have they arisen, and for what purpose do they remain? Within island spaces, among the geographical bounds of insularities, between sordid pasts and germane presents, live legacies often not apparent to cursory glances. They are places of distancing, locations of the primitive, sites of and for creolization. Grammar can be elusory, lexis easier to catch. Here I dwell primarily on words more than syntax, individuals over groups, the Pacific inculcating the Caribbean. The language of focus may be creole-inspired, but despite what many have written, it is certainly not prototypically, historically, or technically a creole.
  • What Really Happened to Fletcher Christian?

    What Really Happened to Fletcher Christian?

    What Really Happened to Fletcher Christian? Written by Andy Owen Fletcher Christian Captain Peter Heywood RN, pulled up the collar of his greatcoat, as he walked down Fore Street in the Plymouth dock area. The sleet started and it felt like it was cutting his face to pieces. It was the winter of 1808. Heywood hated the cold. He always had. Right from a boy. His thoughts turned to the South Seas. The sun. The sand. An idyllic lifestyle on two beautiful islands, with stunning women and sex as plentiful as the coconuts on the palms. 1 This wasn't a dream. Heywood had lived it. And loved it. How much he would give, to be back there right now... You see, Peter Heywood was a Midshipman aboard the discovery ship, The Bounty. Yes, THAT Bounty. Captain Bligh, Fletcher Christian and the mutiny. He was part of it. He was a mutineer. He chose Christian instead of Bligh. And he nearly hanged for it. As he crossed the muddy street in Plymouth that day, with Tahiti and Pitcairn Island still on his mind, an extraordinary thing happened. In front of him was a man whose slightly unusual gait drew Heywood's attention. He used to know someone who walked like that. The man was wrapped up well with an overcoat and a cap pulled down over his face - and he was walking quite quickly. Heywood increased his pace to catch up. He had to see his face... His rapid steps made the man turn round. He looked at Heywood and then started to run.

DESCRIPTORS Behavioral Objectives; Case Studies; Class Activities; Classification; *Films; Higher Education; *Leadership; Thinking Skills IDENTIFIERS Gagnes Taxonomy; *Mutiny on the Bounty (Film) ABSTRACT Although there are drawbacks to the case study method, using films presents opportunities for instructors to teach to the "higher" levels presented in learning objective taxonomies. A number of classifications of learning outcomes or objectives are well served by a teaching style employing the case approach. There seem to be as many different types of case study methods as there are writers on the subject. Perhaps the most useful typology of case methods, in part because of its simplicity, is that de-eloped by Gay Wakefield for the public relations field. Because of the clarity of character and issue development, the 1935 film version of "Mutiny on the Bounty" was chosen for use in a sophomore level course titled "Principles of Leadership." Using Wakefield's typology, the film is a case history which becomes a case analysis during class discussion. Almost all lf the topics that would be covered in a course in leadership are present in the film. The film meets the requirements of a good case as set out by other typologies of case studies.
