Just finished reading mutiny on the bounty by Peter Fitzsimons on audible with my ears. Audible rocks, but I'm definitely picking up a physical copy from Frugal Muse in Darien Illinois the next time I go there. Support your local bookstore. One of the most interesting and captivating books I've read on Audible in the last year. It's even better than the reviews on audible. Read the reviews. It will be one of the most interesting books you've ever read.>> <<@warrenpeece1726 says : I think we all know the truth. We've seen the movies.>> <<@doyouevendab77 says : "He had a face that just made you want to mutiny" 🤔>> <<@missmiagi2147 says : Is the audio fast forwarded or is Simon just talking like hes on speed? lol I can't even watch this>> <<@DrJeykl says : I earnestly believe that Capt Bligh being portrayed as a tyrant by the mutineers, It made it easier for others to mutiny against him because they had a pre-published excuse to fall back on. It didn't help that some of the mutineers from the Bounty were given pardons. Being a well-known figure of his time, many would have made up a preconceived opinion of Capt Bligh.>> <<@EnneBeam says : Hello A Norfolk islander and decentent of fletcher Christian here to say; You summarised that very well XD I have been told this story my whole life but it never painted bligh in this light!!! (I was taught he was a coward... go figure? some beef lasts generations) I don't know if you were skipping minor details, but John Adams was actually initially pardoned because he changed his name and lied... us islanders also think he is the one who shot Fletcher, oh he also most definitley killed his wife I believe... But I would love to hear a mentioning of Mauatua aka Mamiti (I don't know her english name I think it might be Lizzie?)>> <<@lordkarellan7808 says : Good god. Simon could have slowed down on the delivery. Either too much caffeine or something.>> <<@WQuantrill says : There are few things better than looking up a topic I’ve developed an interest in and seeing that my favorite YouTuber Simon has done a video on it!>> <<@Modernmeemsshop says : I have a framed image of this man from my in laws. Guess my husband is related somehow.>> <<@Shcreamingreen says : All you need to know about Bligh's attitude and social skills can be read in the account of yet another court-martial of his, where he was accused by a fellow officer in these words: _(...) did publicly on the quarter deck on His Majesty's Ship Warrior grossly insult and ill treat me being in the execution of my office by calling me rascal, scoundrel and shaking his fist in my face (...)_ To which Bligh replied, upon being found guilty and reprimanded: _I candidly and without reserve avow that I am not a tame and indifferent observer of the manner in which officers placed under my orders conduct themselves in the performance of their several duties. A signal or any communication from a commanding officer has ever been to me an indication for exertion and alacrity to carry into effect the purport thereof and peradventure I may occasionally have appeared to some of those officers as unnecessarily anxious for its execution by exhibiting an action or gesture peculiar to myself to such._ Yes, he was a great seaman, one of the greatest in fact, but also a man of ill temper and insufferable sense of self-righteousness.>> <<@DTASEVAL says : AM MARRIED TO A DESCENDANT FROM THE LINEAGE OF CAPTAIN BLIGH, AM A FILIPINA, YES THE FAMILY IS KIND, HELPFUL, FRIENDLY, HOSPITABLE ETC, GRAHAME IS A LOVING PERSON HOWEVER HE NEVER TOLD ME HIS MOM WAS SICK, CERTAIN ISSUES BROKE US APART.....NEVER GOT DIVORCED, I WONDER IF I COULD STILL GO BACK TO AUSTRALIA, ITS A GREAT COUNTRY .....NO COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN HIM AND ME, SENDING MY WARMEST HELLO TO HIM, HIS FAMILY AND TO AUSTRALIA, THANK YOU AUSTRALIA, I LEARNED TO SPEAK DIRECT! MORE POWER TO YOUR COUNTRY, AS A CHRISTIAN, GODBLESSYOUALL! BELATED CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOUS! MAY AUSTRALIA HAVE MANY MORE BLESSED, PEACEFULL, PROSPEROUS, HEALTHY YEARS TO COME!>> <<@scottzema3103 says : I think Bligh exhibited competence in the strict narrow sense of defining the tasks of a British officer. But he had a personality disorder that came to the fore in a command situation, including an obtuse tendency to belittle others while at the same time needing a cooperative and happy crew willing to be disciplined to accomplish the naval mission. Now seamen were used to some of the rougher edges of command but they require some consideration in their effective cooperation under that command. Bligh was 'ridden out on a rail' after he attempted to govern New South Wales later in his career. Not a raving tyrant like Trevor Howard or Charles Laughton nor a neurotic mess like Anthony Hopkins. But somewhere perhaps in between, say a borderline sociopath?>> <<@zarasbazaar says : Within a few years the mutineers murdered each other on Pitcairn, so I'm inclined to believe that Bligh was not the bad guy in this scenario.>> <<@martin-hall-northern-soul says : Excellent and informative video about the infamous Bligh. Tally ho!>> <<@glengrieve544 says : Great content and beautifully presented thank you for you're time and effort you put into making this video ❤>> <<@xGregadetHx says : Capt. Cook's end wasn't fitting...but ironic>> <<@gideonhorwitz9434 says : Bligh did nothing wrong>> <<@lsimon343 says : I just can’t believe how if half the man we’re on lies side how that mutiny took place. It doesn’t make any sense I would give my left pinky to be on that ship for one hour during all this craziness.>> <<@lsimon343 says : I don’t care what you say the fact that that man made it back to England is the most unparalleled seat of navigational brilliance shown by anyone that I can think of you would’ve put your money on the bounty, and he does not get enough respect for that feat!!>> <<@unclequack5445 says : "From now on there'll be no more Grogg and no more shore leave you will become seamen again" Aha haa aha haaa....>> <<@unclequack5445 says : The book I read claimed the phrase "Cape Horn Fever" another term for Malingering was started on The Bounty on Bligh's famous journey Christian started all the problems and led the mutiny.>> <<@odinfromcentr2 says : He seems to be a personification of the phrase "No good deed goes unpunished.">> <<@tasty_ai says : Well, i have to side with Captain Bligh, he just a great captain with conincidentally wrong crew.>> <<@jtuckers1 says : Douchebag Australian author Peter FitzSimons wrote an amazing account of the mutiny.>> <<@gloriousrevolutionary2306 says : Both films are good and very entertaining, even if they're inaccurate in different ways. What I think would be good is a Mini series adaption. More scenes about the events that talk place on the arduous voyage to Dutch Timor and ofc the rocky early start in the Pitcairn Islands. I would say both events are more interesting than the actual mutiny itself.>> <<@alanjohnson2528 says : poor Bligh gets a pretty bad rap in history...when really he is the only one to continuously do his job/duties and follow orders/the law...its a strange old world>> <<@esconis5304 says : I'm related to this guy apparently. Explains a lot about my dad's attitude😁>> <<@cardboardempire says : Fletcher Christian was signed on as Master's Mate and didnt become 1st mate until Christian was promoted to Master and thus, 1st mate during the voyage. Bligh was only a Leutenant and was assigned a ship to command that was in accordance with his rank. Leutenant, Commander, Captain, Post Captain. Only a full post captain gets a ship of the line. Lieutenants are lucky to have a command at all and were usually assigned as only commanders of Cutters or acting captain of a prize crew.>> <<@keithmooney9285 says : Here's another video for you Simon, Thomas Cochrane. F**king legend but for some reason obscure.>> <<@FelixstoweFoamForge says : What Bly was, was a man promoted one stage too far. The Bounty was his first Royal Naval command. So, he's in ultimate command with no superior and no brake. The result was he was not a reliable commander. In fact, he veered wildly between being the crew's friend and being over harsh. Which meant that the crew never knew what the rules were from day to day. Accounts of the navy from that period show that a crew would would put up with a LOT, as long as the rules were consistent. But Bly wasn't . Lax one day, harsh the other. It's worth pointing out that when BLY was later made governor of New South Whales later, he sparked mutiny amongst the officers under him, and for the same reasons.>> <<@stevenmartinek815 says : The mutiny occured because Bligh went totally insane and wanted to take on Simon Whistler who was circumnavigating the earth in a rowboat. The crew knew this meant certain death and to preserve their lives Captain Bligh had to go. The Mutiny most certainly saved their lives of the crew with Mr. Whistler on the high seas and they hid in Tahiti to avoid getting in Mr. Whistler's way.>> <<@rustykilt says : Bligh was very much misrepresented and was a man of great ability and in his time was better than most of his era and must be seen in the light of the times.>> <<@paddyt4043 says : Villian>> <<@paddyt4043 says : How about Micheal dwyer a man that blithe trew in jail>> <<@nomdeplume7537 says : On the last Mutiny they knew his reputation. So they played on that using it as their excuse.>> <<@nomdeplume7537 says : Here's my call ... usually you'll find a pattern of behavior throughout a career that would give hint to someone who abuses power, and is tyrannical. By what had been laid out he seems rather calm and even keeled. Not someone who would go on to be mutinied>> <<@ericpanissidi6761 says : He kept a tight poopdeck, sorry I'm a marine>> <<@ericpanissidi6761 says : He said seamen>> <<@ericpanissidi6761 says : I heard bly is responsible for" shell backing">> <<@ericpanissidi6761 says : Simon makes learning fun.if we buy his cereal>> <<@jacklawrence2212 says : Nice video - could have done with a bit more about Christian's role (some claim he had a personality clash with Bligh which drove him over the edge), and the role of the family of Peter Heywood (one of the mutineers and whose family were dyed in the wool Navy establishment and wanted to save him), in rubbishing Bligh's name.>> <<@ryanl4614 says : I have literally watched every one of the videos on this channel & followed this channel for years. I love all the work you guys put into the videos. This is one of the best channels on video! I have one request can you please do Abraham Lincoln at some point? Thankyou and I will continue to support you guys.>> <<@ACPritchard says : The jerk thing was the best part after the whole story lol>> <<@camilohiche4475 says : Biographies that you have criminally overlooked so far: Classical composers: - Ludwig van Beethoven - J.S. Bach - Antonio Vivaldi Gods/iconic figures: - Michael Jackson - Babe Ruth Chess legends: - Gary Kasparov - Bobby Fischer Painters: - Gustav Klimt - Marcel Duchamp Architects/builders: - Gustav Eiffel - Frank Lloyd Wright - Le Corbusier - Antonio Gaudi - Buckminster Fuller Writers: - Léon Tolstoï - Fiodor Dostoïevski - Homer - Sophocles - Victor Hugo - Jules Verne - Jorge Luis Borges - Miguel de Cervantes - John Steinbeck - Dante Alighieri Philosophers/theologists: - René Descartes - Confucius - Emmanuel Kant - John Locke - Voltaire - Jean Calvin Scientists: - Max Planck Dictators: - Nicolae Ceausescu - Manuel Noriega Explorers: - Zheng He - Vasco da Gama - John Cabot - Amerigo Vespucci - Hernán Cortés Other: - Anne Frank - Caterina de' Medici - Cesare Borgia>> <<@robc7928 says : Can you do a video on the uk miners strike and around trade unions please. :)>> <<@hendyo_98 says : I could be wrong, but wasn’t this a Treehouse of horror episode in the Simpsons? Well the mutiny part>> <<@georgeprchal3924 says : Yosemite Sam: Captain Bligh! (Salutes) Bugs Bunny: Mr Christian look at you! Disgrace to the Navy! This mutiny Mr Christian! Mutiny I say!>> <<@georgeprchal3924 says : As much as I like the Clark Gable version, I think the Anthony Hopkins version is better. (It has Anthony Hopkins, Mel Gibson, Bernard Hill, Liam Neeson, and Daniel Day-Lewis)>> <<@13elad49 says : The movie, "Muntiny on the Bounty" painted a horrible picture of Captain Bligh. After a couple documentaries, notably from PBS and NPR, seems Captain Bligh was somewhat rehabilitated.>>
