The 1983 reenactment was featured in an episode of the PBS series ADVENTURE back in the late 80's. A direct descendant of Bligh and a nine man crew began the trek but attrition and low morale whittled the crew down to just a few by journeys end. The modern-day Bligh and 8 of the crew were dangerously inept, but luckily, one crewman from Newfoundland saved all from an early grave, his remarkable poise, humility and confidence made both voyage and documentary a success..2 of TV's best hours EVER.
