- Quotations
- Bligh was authorised to prevent free importation, to preserve the trade under his entire control, to enforce all penalties against illegal import, and to establish regulations at his discretion for the sale of spirits.
- Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)Sooner or later, history will pronounce final judgment upon William Bligh. It will be in his favour.
