Too hastily provoked, he antagonized officers and crew with frequent and uncontrolled outbursts. With tempers already flaring and resentment simmering, a trivial matter of coconuts stolen from the ship s store provoked a true mutiny. On April 28, 1789, Fletcher Christian and his sympathizers took over the ship, casting Bligh and 18 of his loyal supporters adrift in the Bounty s 23-foot launch.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-size-adjust: auto;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-size-adjust: auto;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eIn a remarkable feat of seamanship, Bligh navigated the dangerously overcrowded boat on a 47-day voyage to the Dutch colony of Timor, equipped only with a sextant and a pocket watch. He recorded the distance as 3,618 nautical miles. While struggling to survive, he kept a log and produced highly accurate charts and surveys of the seas and the terrain, such as the Fijian Islands and the northeast coast of Australia.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-size-adjust: auto;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-size-adjust: auto;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-size-adjust: auto;\"\u003eBounty s\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e launch was typical of boats issued to Royal Navy ships of the period.
