Pictures of Thursday October Christian, from his youth and old age:
Christian had been warned by Bligh not to use arms against the natives, and so, two weeks later, when the Bounty stopped at the island of Anamooka for water and were repulsed by unfriendly natives, Christian returned to the ship without firing on them.
Christian had had access back in England to the latest naval records, and very likely copies of the most recent annotated maps were in the chart room of the Bounty, which was a ship of the British navy.
ThursdayOctoberChristianII (Thursday's son) was the leader of the island at the time.
