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. Sailing through the Fiji Islands, the first Europeans to do so, they were pursued by cannibals on two fast sailing canoes. Bligh managed to chart the islands and his findings were so accurate, they could still be used today. The breadfruit tree under which the Monument of Captain Bligh is erected is an offshoot of one of the original trees he introduced to the Caribbean Islands in 1793
