Bounty. Based on his research of unpublished documents and the papers of Captain Peter Heywood—a
midshipman on the Bounty--Sir John Barrow answers the two crucial questions raised by the
incident: why the crew of the Bounty mutinied in the first place, and why an officer prompted
and led the mutiny. Sir John Barrow, was Permanent Secretary to the Admiralty. In 1831, his
classic history of the Bounty mutiny was published. Sir John Barrow had access to the papers of
Captain Peter Heywood, a midshipman on the Bounty, whose story he tells in full.
