Brilliant entry Phred! I didn't realise that Bligh had 3000 miles of ocean to cross in order to reach Timor. Impressive navigation to say the least.

I always feel smug, writing an entry about a famous Englishman and getting it into H2g2....I also did one on Kipling...
THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING

THE KING IS NOT WHO YOU ARE,
THE KING IS WOT YOU ARE,
SAID A VOICE IN THE DISTANCE,
A VOICE FROM AFAR
WHO YOU ARE,
IS ANOTHER THING,
AND WHO YOU ARE,
IS NOT THE KING

i am spinning in my grave, hear ye well and let not faults of error be thy legacy.
I am born not of Plymouth, in that Hideous spawning place of Drake, but yet Cornish be I. Of St. Tudy and proud i am of it. Know that i saw first the light and smile of that good woman my Mother in the Manor of Tinten upon the road to Bodmin and she, may God give her rest, lies by the Cjurch of that fair village with her spouse, my Father.
T'was men as ye who did to me the injustice of poor reputation for many along year i would, but were it possible, see ye punished by Our Seafaring tradition. Look upon your work and make to it a timely correction less i come to ye myself for compensation
