Vice-Admiral William Bligh was an officer of the Royal Navy and a colonial administrator. The Mutiny on the Bounty occurred during his command of HMS Bounty in 1789. Seventeen years after the Bounty mutiny, on 13 August 1806, he was appointed Governor of New South Wales in Australia, with orders to clean up the corrupt rum trade of the New South Wales Corps, his actions directed against the trade resulted in the so-called Rum Rebellion, during which Bligh was placed under arrest on 26 January 1808 by the New South Wales Corps and deposed from his command, an act which the British Foreign Office declared to be illegal. He died in Lambeth, London, on 7 December 1817. William Bligh was born on 9 September 1754, it is that he was born in Plymouth, Devon, as he was baptised at St Andrew's Church, Plymouth on 4 October 1754, where Bligh's father, was serving as a customs officer. Bligh's ancestral home of Tinten Manor near St Tudy near Bodmin, Cornwall, is a possibility. Bligh's mother, Jane Pearce, was a widow who married Francis at the age of 40.

Bligh was signed for the Royal Navy at age seven, at a time when it was common to sign on a "young gentleman" to gain, or at least record, the experience at sea required for a commission. In 1770, at age 16, he joined HMS Hunter as an able seaman, the term used because there was no vacancy for a midshipman, he became a midshipman early in the following year. In September 1771, Bligh was remained on the ship for three years. In 1776, Bligh was selected by Captain James Cook, for the position of sailing master of Resolution and accompanied Cook in July 1776 on Cook's third voyage to the Pacific Ocean, during which Cook was killed. Bligh was able to supply details of Cook's last voyage. Bligh married Elizabeth Betham, daughter of a customs collector, on 4 February 1781; the wedding took place at nearby Onchan. A few days he was appointed to serve on HMS Belle Poule as master. Soon after this, in August 1781, he fought in the Battle of Dogger Bank under Admiral Parker, which won him his commission as a lieutenant.

For the next 18 months, he was a lieutenant on various ships. He fought with Lord Howe at Gibraltar in 1782. Between 1783 and 1787, Bligh was a captain in the merchant service. Like many lieutenants, he would have found full-pay employment in the Navy. In 1787, Bligh was selected as commander of His Majesty's Armed Transport Bounty, he rose to the rank of vice admiral in the Royal Navy. William Bligh's naval career involved various assignments, he first rose to prominence under the command of Captain James Cook. Bligh received praise from Cook during. Bligh served on three of the same ships on which Fletcher Christian served in his naval career. In the early 1780s, while in the merchant service, Bligh became acquainted with a young man named Fletcher Christian, eager to learn navigation from him. Bligh took Christian under his wing, the two became friends; the mutiny on the Royal Navy vessel HMAV Bounty occurred in the South Pacific Ocean on 28 April 1789. Led by Master's Mate / Acting Lieutenant Fletcher Christian, disaffected crewmen seized control of the ship, set Bligh and 18 loyalists adrift in the ship's open launch.

The mutineers variously settled on Pitcairn Island. Meanwhile, Bligh completed a voyage of more than 3,500 nautical miles to the west in the launch to reach safety north of Australia in the Dutch East Indies and began the process of bringing the mutineers to justice. In 1787, Bligh took command of Bounty. In order to win a premium offered by the Royal Society, he first sailed to Tahiti to obtain breadfruit trees set course east across the South Pacific for South America and the Cape Horn and to the Caribbean Sea, where breadfruit was wanted for experiments to see whether it would be a successful food crop for African slaves there on British colonial plantations in the West Indies islands; the notion that breadfruit had to be collected from Tahiti was intentionally misleading. Tahiti was one of many places where the esteemed seedless breadfruit could be found; the real reason for choosing Tahiti has its roots in the territorial contention that existed between France and Great Britain at the time.

The Bounty never reached the Caribbean, as mutiny broke out on board shortly after the ship left Tahiti. The voyage to Tahiti was difficult. After trying unsuccessfully for a month to go west by rounding South America and Cape Horn, Bounty was defeated by the notoriously stormy weather and opposite winds and forced to take the longer way to the east around the southern tip of Africa; that delay caused a further delay in Tahiti, as he had to wait five months for the breadfruit plants to mature sufficiently to be potted in soil and transported. Bounty departed Tahiti heading east in April 1789; because the vessel was rated only as a cutter, Bounty had no officers other than Bligh, a small crew, no Marines to provide protection
