William Bligh sailed through Fijian waters in 1789 following the mutiny on HMS Bounty, navigating a 23-foot open launch across nearly 4,000 miles with 18 men and minimal provisions. He passed through what is now called the Bligh Water passage — the stretch between Fiji's two main island groups — while being pursued by Fijian war canoes, an encounter he recorded in detail and which helped introduce European knowledge of the archipelago's geography.
