LibriVox recording of Voyage Round the World in His Majesty's Frigate Pandora, by George Hamilton. Read by Roy Schreiber

George Hamilton was the surgeon assigned to the frigate Pandora. The British Admiralty ordered the ship to the Pacific to arrest the Bounty mutineers and bring them back to England for trial. The commander, Captain Edward Edwards, also was ordered to chart the passage between Australia and New Guinea.
While Edwards managed to arrest the mutineers still on Tahiti, he sank the Pandora on a reef near Australia. Hamilton tells this story and also the story of the crew's fate after the Pandora sank. (Summary by Roy Schreiber)

Subject: An interesting story.
Like many biographies it lacks the benefits of the narrative: the tale does not carry through satisfactorally, characters are all but anonymous. Anthropologically interesting.

I suppose it suffers in comparison to Bligh's book, to which I see it as a sort of sequel.
