The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on March 26, 2025 is “Who is William Bligh?”

William Bligh is primarily remembered for his role in the 1789 mutiny aboard the HMS Bounty, during which he was a lieutenant and was thrown overboard by the rebelling crew. Some speculate that Bligh’s harsh treatment of the crew may have been a factor in their rebellion, while others suggest that they had grown fond of life in Tahiti and chose to stay there instead of returning to duty. Regardless, it fell upon Bligh to pursue and bring the mutineers to account for their actions.

Later in his career, Bligh faced charges related to his conduct on another ship, the HMS Warrior. An original document penned by Bligh himself reveals that he was accused of being a “mischief-maker” and “rogue.” However, he eventually served as governor of New South Wales in 1806.
