Editing William Bligh (section)

===Aftermath===
In October 1790, Bligh was honourably acquitted at the [[court-martial]] inquiring into the loss of ''Bounty.''<ref name="Greenwich"/> Shortly thereafter, he published ''A Narrative of the Mutiny on board His Majesty's Ship "Bounty"; And the Subsequent Voyage of Part of the Crew, In the Ship's Boat, from Tofoa, one of the Friendly Islands, to Timor, a Dutch Settlement in the East Indies.'' Of the 10 surviving prisoners eventually brought home in spite of ''Pandora'''s loss, four were acquitted, owing to Bligh's testimony that they were non-mutineers that Bligh was obliged to leave on ''Bounty'' because of lack of space in the launch. Two others were convicted because, while not participating in the mutiny, they were passive and did not resist. They subsequently received royal pardons. One was convicted but excused on a technicality. The remaining three were convicted and hanged.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Court-Martial of the Bounty Mutineers: An Account |url=https://www.famous-trials.com/bounty/392-story |website=Famous Trials |access-date=17 April 2023}}</ref>
