About This Item
Lada-Mocarski writes that this voyage was a product of the 1788 war between Sweden and Russia; that the "Mercury" was indeed copper-bottomed, which is cited by Mortimer, but that she also carried sixteen guns, conveniently omitted by Mortimer. Secondary to the narrative concerning the Northwest Coast and Russian activity there, the information gleaned by Mortimer concerning Bligh and the Bounty is exceedingly valuable, as the appearance of this title in most Bounty-related histories attest. With fascinating glimpses of Oteheite and the Sandwich Islands. See Lada-Mocarski 48; Howes M845.
