John McKay - Anatomy of the Ship. The Armed Transport Bounty (1988)
Made
eternally famous by the mutiny against Captain Bligh in 1789, Bounty
was a small merchant ship purchased and converted into a naval transport
to transplant breadfruit to the plantations of the West Indies. Thanks
to good surviving documentation, this book can depict the ship when
purchased as the mercantile Bethia and also as fitted out for her
unusual naval employment. This revised edition features accurate,
visually exciting and totally comprehensive drawings. In addition to
these, a colour representation of Bounty on the jacket provides a useful
painting guide, on the back of which is a beautifully folded large
scale plan of the ship. The 'Anatomy of the Ship' series aims to
provide the finest documentation of individual ships and ship types ever
published. What makes the series unique is a complete set of superbly
executed line drawings, both the conventional type of plan as well as
explanatory views, with fully descriptive keys. These are supported by
technical details and a record of the ship's service history. This
