 Cook's log is full of praise for the watch and the charts of the southern Pacific Ocean he made with its use were remarkably accurate.K2 was loaned to Lieutenant William Bligh, commander of HMS "Bounty" but it was retained by Fletcher Christian following the infamous mutiny.It was not recovered from Pitcairn Island until 1808 when it was given to Captain Folger, and then passed through several hands before reaching the National Maritime Museum in London.
