James Morrison's Journal - Boatswain's Mate of the Bounty
James Morrison, boatswain's mate of the Bounty, elected to stay with the ship after the mutiny, but remained on Tahiti when the hard-core mutineers sailed away, eventually to establish the settlement on Pitcairn's Island. His journal is the only account we have of the doings of the mutineers following the mutiny, including their attempt to establish a settlement on Tubuai, south of Tahiti, the 17 month sojourn on Tahiti of the 16 who remained there, and their return to England by Captain Edward Edwards aboard the Pandora.
