Interesting perspective on the famous Mutiny from the eyes of a 14 yr old boy dragged to sea to escape a harsh jail sentence and his experiences. From the streets of Portsmouth to the high seas to the mutiny and the miraculous survival of 19 men in a launch, an intriguing insight into the motivations of and survival instincts of men in high and low circumstances.
