White is currently at work on
the story of HMS PANDORA, the Royal Navy frigate sent after the mutineers from
HMAV BOUNTY in 1790. After collecting most of the pirates in Tahiti, Pandora,
under Captain Edward Edwards, sailed for England by way of the Endeavor Straits
just North of Australia where she wrecked on a reef. Edwards, his surviving
crew, and the mutineers, made an open boat journey to Coupang that rivaled
Bligh’s own voyage. Using original documents from the Naval Archives in
Portsmouth England, White’s research and writing style will provide the reader
a firsthand look at this little-known, but important conclusion to the Bounty
story.
Look for WHEN FORTUNE FROWNS
here, at Amazon.com, and at your local bookseller in the spring of 2009. It
promises to be a great read not just for the "sea story"
aficionados, but for anyone interested in the final chapter of one of the most
infamous mutinies in history.
