Vice-Admiral of the Blue William Bligh (9 September 1754 – 7 December 1817) was a Royal Navy officer and colonial administrator who served as the governor of New South Wales from 1806 to 1808. He is best known for his role in the mutiny on HMS Bounty, which occurred in 1789 while the ship was under his command. After being set adrift mid-ocean in Bounty's launch by the mutineers, Bligh and those loyal to him sailed to the Dutch East Indies.
