William Bligh [SEP] In literature and film
Bligh is humorously portrayed in Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch's short story "Frenchman's Creek" as a competent but irascible and tactless surveyor sent to a small fishing village in Cornwall during the Napoleonic Wars. His accent and strong language being misunderstood by the locals as French, he is temporarily imprisoned as a spy. The situation in Sydney in 1810, with Bligh returning from Tasmania to be restored as governor, is the setting of Naomi Novik's fantasy novel "Tongues of Serpents" (Harper-Collins, 2011). On 16 December 1964, the "Adobe Dick" episode of the cartoon "The Flintstones" (episode 129) paid a humorous homage to Cpt.
