Sir Joseph Banks - Banks (1743-1830) was a well-known botantist and naturalist who proposed the experiment by which breadfruit, native to the South Pacific, would be transported by ship to the British West Indies. He sailed on the first of Captain Cook's voyages to the Pacific. He was also a patron of William Bligh.

Chronometers - Until the mid 1750s, a major navigation challenge was the difficulty in calculating longitudinal position. This problem was solved with the invention of the practical marine chronometer, Harrison's H4. However, chronometers were very expensive. In the 1780s a chronometer could cost £500. This was at a time when the Bounty was purchased for £2,600. While the Bounty was equipped with a chronometer (in 1787), it wasn't until the 1820s that all Royal Navy ships had such devices.
