Book excerpt: HMS Pandora was a 24-gun Porcupine class frigate of the Royal Navy, built by Adams and Barnard at Deptford, England and launched on 17 May 1779. She was deployed in North American waters during the American Revolutionary War but was put 'in ordinary' (mothballed) after 1783. She was best known as the ship sent in 1790 to search for the Bounty and the mutineers who had taken her. She was wrecked on the return voyage in 1791. Captain Edwards and his officers were exonerated for the loss of the Pandora after a court martial. No attempt was made by the colonial authorities in New South Wales to salvage material from the wreck.

Book excerpt: The Story of the mutiny of HMS Bounty is one of the best known from the annals of maritime history. In 1789 Captain Bligh and members of his officers and crew were forced into the ship's boat and cast adrift in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. They survived after sailing and rowing nearly 4,000 miles to Timor. Meanwhile, the Bounty reached Tahiti, where some of the mutineers decided to stay, while the remainder, commanded by Fletcher Christian, continued to the isolated Pitcairn Island, where they sank the ship to avoid detection. After learning of these events the British admiralty sent HMS Pandora to deal with the mutineers. HMS Pandora was a 24 gun frigate built in 1779 and commanded by Captain Edward Edwards. The vessel left England in November 1790 and rounded Cape Horn to reach the Pacific. In 1791 the Pandora reached Tahiti and arrested 14 mutineers there. Finding no more mutineers, the Pandora headed back for England. The nearest way back was through the Torres Strait - the narrow and shallow passage between Australia and New Guinea. Near the northern tip of the Great Barrier Reef, this area is full of submerged coral rocks with only a few navigable passages. The Pandora hit one of the rocks and sank, but most of the crew and prisoners survived and continued in the ship's boats to Batavia. Later, the mutineers were tried in London and some were hanged. The voyage of the Pandora was recorded by Captain Edward Edwards and by the ship's surgeon, George Hamilton. Their stories are fascinating and immediate and have gripped generations of readers since the day they were published.

Book excerpt: New Guinea, the world's largest tropical island, is a land of great contrasts, ranging from small glaciers on its highest peaks to broad mangrove swamps in its lowlands and hundreds of smaller islands and coral atolls along its coasts. Divided between two nations, the island and its neighboring archipelagos form Indonesia’s Papua Province (or Irian Jaya) and the independent nation of Papua New Guinea, both former European colonies. Most books on New Guinea have been guided by these and other divisions, separating east from west, prehistoric from historic, precontact from postcontact, colonial from postcolonial. This is the first work to consider New Guinea and its 40,000-year history in its entirety. The volume opens with a look at the Melanesian region and argues that interlocking exchange systems and associated human interchanges are the "invisible government" through which New Guinea societies operate. Succeeding chapters review the history of encounters between outsiders and New Guinea's populations. They consider the history of Malay involvement with New Guinea over the past two thousand years, demonstrating the extent to which west New Guinea in particular was incorporated into Malay trading and raiding networks prior to Western contact. The impact of colonial rule, economic and social change, World War II, decolonization, and independence are discussed in the final chapter.

Download or read book Chasing the Bounty written by Donald A. Maxton and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular films about the Bounty mutiny only scratch the surface. This rebellion on a British vessel in 1789 sparked the voyages of H.M.S. Pandora--dispatched to track down the mutineers and return them to England for court-martial--and the Matavy, a schooner built by the mutineers in Tahiti. This is the first book to include eyewitness accounts from five men who endured these voyages. Presented in overlapping, chronological order are the first publication of a narrative by a member of Matavy's crew, who vividly describes a desperate struggle to survive with meager provisions among islands filled with hostile natives. A previously unpublished poem by an anonymous sailor on Pandora recounts the ship's sinking, the survivors' tortuous journey to the Dutch East Indies, and their return to England. The captain's unedited statement on the loss of Pandora is included and appendices summarize the Bounty and Pandora courts-martial and the later history of each narrator.

Book excerpt: None of the minor incidents in our naval history has inspired so many writers as the Mutiny of the Bounty. Histories, biographies and romances, from Bligh's narrative in 1790 to Mr. Becke's "Mutineers" in 1898, have been founded upon it; Byron took it for the theme of the least happy of his dramatic poems; and all these, not because the mutiny left any mark upon history, but because it ranks first among the stories of the sea, instinct with the living elements of romance, of primal passion and of tragedy-all moving to a happy ending in the Arcadia of Pitcairn Island. And yet, while every incident in the moving story, even to the evidence in the famous court-martial, has been discussed over and over again, there has been lying in the Record Office for more than a century an autograph manuscript, written by one of the principal actors in the drama, which no one has thought it worth while to print.
