In April 1789, the H.M.S. Bounty left Tahiti and whilst passing through the Endeavour Channel, a number of the crew staged a mutiny. Captain Bligh and 18 loyal crew members were forced by the mutineers into one of the three small lifeboats and were cast adrift. This craft, powered by a large sail and with four men rowing at a time, covered 3,600 miles util they reached the safety of Timor.
This kit of the Bounty’s Jolly Boat is graceful, decorative and easy to build.
Set of pre-sewn sails included.
