William Bligh
William Bligh (9 September 1754 - 7 December 1817) was an officer of the British Royal Navy and colonial administrator.

After the Bounty mutiny he became Governor of New South Wales, where his stern administration engendered another insurrection, the Rum Rebellion led by John Macarthur.
