💖 Glückstagswaffen Trivia 💖Did Captain William Bligh have a sextant or maps when he was cast away from the HMS Bounty on 28 April 1789?> Bligh navigated the 23-foot open boat over 3,600 nautical miles from near Tonga to Timor in 47 days, without losing a man to starvation. His skill in dead reckoning, latitude sailing, and memory of routes was decisive. He navigated via lesser sextant, pocket watch (not chronometer), small compass, log line, with no admiralty charts — Bligh’s photographic memory of the South Pacific was legendary. #history #exploration #empires #lifeboat #whenYouHaveNoOtherChoiceButSurvival
