The mutineer who became a Captain

On 11 October 1786, Peter Heywood joined the Royal Navy at the age of 14 as a Captain's Servant, a rank below Midshipman. When it became known that an expedition under the command of Lieutenant William Bligh was to sail to the South Seas to collect breadfruit plants in Tahiti and bring them to Jamaica, Heywood managed to sign on as an acting midshipman through the mediation of Richard Betham, both an acquaintance of the Heywoods and William Bligh's father-in-law. He took up his duties in August 1787. On 23 December 1787, the Bounty set sail from Spithead.

Captain Peter Heywood, 1772-1831, by John Simpson 1822 (x)

On 28 April 1789, there was a mutiny in which the 17-year-old Heywood remained on board. As a result, on 22 September in Tahiti, he and others abandoned the Bounty while the remaining crew left the island with the ship. Heywood married and later had his right leg tattooed according to country custom. On 23 March 1791, the frigate Pandora anchored off Tahiti with the voyage mission of tracking down and capturing the Bounty's mutineers. Heywood volunteered to go aboard the same day. Nevertheless, he was put in chains like all the other mutineers who were later apprehended. He survived the sinking of the Pandora, the malaria-infested Batavia and the long period of malnutrition on the transport to his trial in Portsmouth. The trial of the Bounty mutineers took place in Portsmouth on HMS Duke from 12 to 18 September 1792. Members of the 12-man court included Albemarle Bertie, whose wife was the daughter of a fourth cousin of Peter Heywood's father.

The laws of the Royal Navy stated that whoever acted neutrally in a mutiny was as guilty as the mutineers themselves, such behaviour was punishable by death. However, martial law provided for a royal pardon by which the death penalty could be waived. As a consequence of the inquest, the court in Heywood's case was unanimous in its recommendation.

On 27 October 1792, such a pardon arrived and Heywood was released the same day. Much to the chagrin of Bleigh, who tried everything to discredit Heywood and ensure that he would never again be able to gain a foothold in the Navy. However, Heywood's family was too powerful and He continued to serve in the Royal Navy and took part in the Battle of the 13th Prairie on board the Queen Charlotte at the start of the Revolutionary Wars. Against some opposition, he was eventually promoted to Lieutenant in 1795 and was stationed in India from 1796 to 1805. In 1799 he was given his first command of his own there with the brig Amboyna and was promoted to captain in 1803. Due to poor health and the death of his elder brother, he returned home in 1805. In 1806 he became captain on the Polyphemus, the flagship of Rear-Admiral Sir George Murray (1759-1819), which operated to protect trade routes in the South Atlantic. In 1808 he took part in the naval engagements of the Napoleonic Wars in the Bay of Biscay as commander of the ship-of-the-line Donegal, and served as commander of the frigate Nereus in the Mediterranean from 1809 to 1810, and again from 1810 to 1813 protecting the trade routes in the South Atlantic. His last command was the liner Montagu, with which he brought King Louis XVIII back to France in May 1814.

He finally retired in 1816 and in the same year married the widow Frances Joliffe, with whom he settled in Highgate near London. The marriage remained childless. He declined a commission in the Royal Navy on the Great Lakes with the rank of Commodore, which was offered to him in 1818. He finally died of a stroke in 1831 and was buried in the chapel of Highgate School.

AllMusic Staff Pick:  Filter  Title of Record

Considering the declining quality that followed, this sophomore LP that gave Filter their biggest chart hit deserves reexamination. Stronger in hindsight, it might be their best (apologies to Short Bus), with evolved songwriting, matured perspective, and a surprise ballad to carry them to the peak of their mainstream success. Highlights like "Captain Bligh," "The Best Things," "Skinny," and "Cancer" show how underrated Richard Patrick is as a songwriter.

Anthony Hopkins, Trevor Howard and Charles Laughton have all played which historical figure in film?

William Bligh (1754-1817) was an English officer in the British Navy, who sailed with Captain James Cook on his third and final voyage in 1776. In 1787, Bligh was made captain of HMS Bounty and sailed to Tahiti to collect breadfruit trees. A mutiny on HMS Bounty famously prevented Bligh from finishing this task. In 1806, Bligh was made Governor of New South Wales in Australia and, after returning to England, was made a Rear-Admiral and later a Vice-Admiral of the Royal Navy.

Bligh has been depicted in films on several occasions, notably in the films 'Mutiny on the Bounty' in 1935 and 1962, and 'The Bounty' in 1984. English-American actor Charles Laughton (1899-1962) portrayed Bligh in the 1935 version of 'Mutiny on the Bounty', which was the highest-grossing film that year. It won an Academy Award for Best Picture, and as of 2022, is the only film to receive three nominations for Best Actor.

English actor Trevor Howard (1913-1988) starred in the 1962 film 'Mutiny on the Bounty'. Both this film and the previous version were based on the novel of the same name by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall. It was nominated for seven Academy Awards.

Welsh actor Anthony Hopkins (born 1937) is the most recent actor to portray William Bligh in film. 'The Bounty' (1984) was based on Richard Hough's version of the real-life tale, 'Captain Bligh and Mr. Christian'. Fletcher Christian (1764-1793) was the first mate who took control of the ship during the mutiny.

Short History

The HMS Bounty is where the most well-known mutiny in nautical history took place. At this point, the crew rebelled against Captain William Bligh, led by Fletcher Christian. This true event served as the basis for the Oscar-winning movie starring Marlon Brando and Richard Harris. The tale that highlights human frailties, the challenges of leading a company of men at sea, and the precarious nature of a captain's authority appeal to a lot of people. Captain William Bligh tracked down the rebels and imprisoned them after the rebellion.

Miss Fisher Australia Tour (10)

Some of you might have been wondering why I skipped the Turkish Bath House in S1E1 Cocaine Blues. Well, the truth is that I simply have no idea where the filming location is, and a visit to a random bath house doesn’t sound appealing to me. Besides, if I have time for a massage during the trip, I would rather schedule an appointment with Richard Bligh Shiatsu and Wholistic Therapies in Richmond (5 km, or 3 miles, from Melbourne’s Central Business District).

Yes, you read it right. Our beloved Mr. Butler is a real-life massage therapist. According to the naturaltherapypages.com.au website (search for Richard Bligh), he has been practicing massage for at least 12 years and has “extensive knowledge in exercise, dietary and lifestyle strategies that will improve your well being”. Assuming the information on the website is valid and current, you can contact him via his mobile phone number or send an email to make an enquiry or request an appointment.

Wouldn’t it be quite an experience to get a shiatsu or Swedish massage from Mr. B? If we could get him to share a few behind the scenes fun stories from MFMM too, it really would be a wholistic experience.

(Posted 20-Jan-2019)

For the Con - I think it would be great to have Richard Bligh (who plays Mr Butler) attend as a special guest... BUT only have him show up right when the Con is ending. 😆
