It enabled this more realistic version then the movies, which is completely different, even the age difference between the duty-prone commoner Bligh and the young impoverished aristocrat Fletcher Christian was in fact negligible. Sailing in 1787, Bligh was in fact a progressive captain (only holding a lieutenant rank), exceptionally concerned with his exceptionally young crew's health and used flogging far less then average at the time. The paradisaic life on Tahiti and its disastrous effect on virtue, health (VD) and discipline is quite true. After nine months Bligh couldn't understand the men found it difficult to return to rigid Navy life, blaming them and especially Christian for futilities and presumed coconut theft. Apparently Christian had a nervous breakdown and staged the mutiny in panic, and almost half the crew preferred marooning to taking his side, pulling off an amazing 5,000 miles sailing to Timor, while only luck brought Christian his refuge on Pitcairn.
