In 1776, Captain James Cook appointed Bligh as Sailing Master of the HMS Resolution for his third voyage to the South Seas. He was only 21, and to achieve that senior rank on a major scientific expedition was a great tribute to his abilities. During the voyage he discovered the breadfruit plant. In 1789, he directed a voyage of 3,618 nautical miles in 47 days, one of the most remarkable feats in the history of navigation. They traveled in a small, overloaded open boat with no maps or compass to the Dutch port of Coupang, Timor.
