A shame that they couldn't have avoided better the hurricane. Beautiful silver round and bonus round. Thanks for sharing the story. Take care!

Chalk it up to Captain's judgement error. He could have chosen to stay up North and waited the Hurricane to pass but tried to outrun it.
To think that Bligh was Sailing Master to Captain Cook in his round the world tours was where Bligh got his narrow colored opinion of the Indigenous people of the South Pacific Islands. There are lots of documents and records of Cook's expeditions but have yet the time to dig up anything on the Lieutenant Sailing Master's conduct on the HMS Resolution and Cook's Expedition.
Thanks for Commenting @elizabethbit
