'Perilous Voyages to the New Land' by Michael Cannon, pages 84- reports that JP Hinton, a shipping speculator, purchased and fitted the vessel, and decided to use tinned food instead of the foods usually loaded. The Melbourne merchant Arthur Kemmis had agreed to act as Agent when she arrived, and was shocked when Bounty was refused.

Tinned food had been invented

, but the seals were not perfected.
"The Passengers Cook was simply a crew member, not a Chef."
I have found several web sites, so have the notes on a separate page for the Ward Chapman

280 Bounty souls landed, 7 sons and 6 dau under 1 year, 43 sons and 27 dau under 7, 28 sons and 28 dau under 15, 3 sons under 18, and 142 adults (36 simgle males and 17 females, 70 couples, total 270 souls. 22 died during the voyage -2m, 1f, 5 chn aged 7-14 and 14 aged 1-7. There were 7 births. Bounty was refused for several young women deemed to not be 'protected' during the voyage - in fact the whole question of paying any Bounty took years to resolve, so poorly was the voyage managed.

Captain Lewis Bilton, and ships surgeon Dr Richard Downes, 1st Mate John Major, 2nd Mate Thomas Edwards and 3rd Mate WH Tuckell were overwhelmed by the number of sick passengers. They employed 8 passengers - Thomas Hicks as School Master to help with the children, and Hospital Assistants Alexander Brodie, Susan Drew, Sarah Hennesy, John Hughes, Arthur Hobbs, James Dempsey, Richard Davis and one whose name is illegible, may be John Oneil or William Owyen (I copied 'oaner')
