MarkG Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 For pirates who want to prove their mettle, try this. Four people are going to try to recreate Captain Bligh's 4,400 voyage. Bligh had a crew of 18 in a 45-foot, open boat. These guys are trying it with 4 people in a 25-foot, open boat. Mark
IronTom Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 That is the coolest thing ever yet I must say those goys have a great deal of intestinal fortitide to attempt that historic voyage.
Fox Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Four people are going to try to recreate Captain Bligh's 4,400 voyage. Bligh had a crew of 18 in a 45-foot, open boat. These guys are trying it with 4 people in a 25-foot, open boat. Bligh's launch was only 23-feet IIRC. Good luck to them.

Mr. Noland Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Try the journey of Mary Bryant also. She and several other Botany Bay prisoners made a 4000 mile journey in a ships cutter. I have the 2005 film based on this event on DVD as well. R. Noland He who is content, has everything.
