    In my previous post I meant to write that Mr Fryer had the octant that is typically mentioned in accounts of the mutiny.

    After his return to England, Bligh was less than candid about a few details.  He had a Ramsden sextant and Mr Fryer a sextant.  They also had a watch and a copy of Moore's Practical Navigator.

    I do seem to remember reading that Bligh had an octant, no charts, and no watch. He had memorized important latitudes which allowed for latitude sailing.
