Muster roll [manuscript]. [1979?]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/225842003

List, assembled by Chandler, of all the men who signed on as crew for H.M.S. "Bounty" under Captain Bligh in 1787: Names, age, place of birth, rank, whether previously on the "Bounty" or under Bligh, whether volunteer or pressed and other comments. The donor adds that some of the documents he researched gave different ages, especially for the younger members of the crew. This was commonly done so that a boy could draw a man's wage.
