The Black Ship
by Dudley Pope
This is the tale of the bloodiest mutiny in the history of the Royal Navy - the butchering of the officers aboard His Majesty's Frigate HERMIONE 32 guns, in the West Indies in 1797. Having disposed of the captain of the frigate, Hugh Pigot, a brutal and sadistic commander and all his officers both guilty and innocent, the mutineers surrendered the ship to the Spanish.
The author describes the daring recapture of the HERMIONE from under the guns of the Spanish forts, and the Royal Navy's relentless pursuit of the mutineers over the next ten years
Dudley Pope is a superb naval historian, and the author of a series of novels set during this period of history.
