SUMMARY:Breadfruit and Banks, Bligh and the Bounty
DESCRIPTION:In the latter part of the Eighteenth century, George III and the British government suddenly became\ninterested in the Breadfruit tree and in particular to the large fruits of this tree which were the\nstaple diet of many peoples living in tropical Pacific islands. The tree had been spotted by James\nCook and Joseph Banks in Tahiti in the year 1769 and it was Banks who then played a pivotal role in\nevents that followed.\n\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Banks when young\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Breadfruit\n				\n		\n\nWe will learn that William Bligh was dispatched to Tahiti twenty years later in HMS Bounty. After\nenjoying 6 months ashore we will try to understand some of the reasons why the return journey\nended in mutiny. It did not end well for the mutineers but despite being cast adrift Bligh made it\nback to London only to be court-martialled and told to go back to Tahiti to finish his task.\nThese journeys took place during the final decades of the slave trade and at that time there was a\nperceived risk of food shortages in the Caribbean islands. Joseph Banks reasoned that breadfruit\ncould be the answer but we will see that the outcome was not as expected.\n\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				William Bligh\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				HMS Bounty\n				\n		\n\n
