==Outward Voyage==
After numerous delays, the ''Bounty'' departed England on December 23rd, 1987. After battling severe storms she stopped at the island of [[Tenerife]] in the [[Azores]] from January 6th, 1788 until January 11th, 1788 before continuing on. The ''Bounty'' tried to enter the [[Pacific]] via [[Cape Horn]], on the southern tip of [[South America]] between March 28th and April 22nd, 1788 but terrible weather drove her back, and the ship turned and headed for the [[Cape of Good Hope]] where it arrived on May 24th, 1788 and damages were repaired. The ''Bounty'' departed there on July 1st, 1788 and crossed the Indian Ocean, stopping briefly in Adventure Bay in [[Tasmania]] between August 21st, 1788 and September 4th, 1788 in order to resupply. Taking a southerly route from there, the ''Bounty'' passed well south of [[New Zealand]], and discovered the remote Bounty Islands on September 19th. The ''Bounty'' finally arrived in Tahiti on October 26th, 1788. On the outward voyage, only one man died as a result of an illness.
