The thing that always amazes me in that story is they put Captain Bligh on a row boat in the Pacific and somehow he made it back to England.
From what I understand he did it the same way the Polynesians did it: stellar navigation. Not to England, but to some island he knew about, most likely due west. He was the ship's captain, familiar with the nearby islands. Think about those crazy Polynesians who use stellar navigation to travel between Hawaii and Tahiti!
