Service vessel; Launch
Scale: 1:48. A modern exhibition model of the 23-foot launch as issued to HM Transport ‘Bounty’ (1784) and included as part of a larger diorama showing the ship alongside a quay loading supplies for a upcoming voyage. The hull is of carvel construction and is shown underway with three crew delivering stores to the ship. This was the largest of the three boats issued and includes a windlass amidships and a davit over the stern which would have been used for handling the anchors in calm weather or laying out mooring at an anchorage. It was in the launch that Captain Bligh was cast adrift with some of his crew on an amazing 3,600-mile voyage in the famous mutiny of 1789.Service vessel; Launch | Royal Museums Greenwich

Service vessel; Launch
Full hull model, built at a scale of 1:48, representing the launch in which Lieutenant William Bligh of the 'Bounty' and 18 members of his crew were cast adrift after the infamous mutiny of 1789. He sailed it 3,618 nautical miles across the Pacific to reach safety in Timor, 41 days later. Built from the original plans held in the Museum’s Collection, the hull is carved from the solid with the frames and other fittings added. It is complete with a small grapnel anchor as well as the large windlass and stern davit (probably removed for the ocean voyage) which were used for handling the ship’s heavy anchors and ropes. The rig is two-masted, with a balanced lug on the foremast and a settee sail on the main.The Museum also holds various relics from the voyage including a beaker used to measure the daily water allowance (NMM no. ZBA2703), a bullet pendant used as a weight to measure the men’s daily ration of bread (ZBA2702) and the coconut shell used by Bligh inscribed, 'The cup I eat my miserable allowance out' (ZBA2701).
