Recreating the epic voyage of Captain William Bligh
Captain William Bligh’s epic 4,000-mile, seven-week journey to safety in Timor following a mutiny is regarded as one of the great maritime survival stories. In 2016 nine men, all strangers, set out in a replica boat to recreate that voyage. Their captain was Ant Middleton, a former special forces soldier who puts recruits through their paces in the series SAS: Who Dares Wins. William Bligh's great-great-great-grandson Maurice discussed with Ant the challenge of the journey and its legacy. (Image: Captain Bligh is cast adrift. Credit: Getty Images)
