If you're doing work on HMS Bounty, this will be an interesting stopping point for you, more from the human interest point of view than the hard data source material, but there are some useful links.

The not-so-glorious mission of the HMS Bounty, according to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, was to bring back breadfruit as an inexpensive foodstuff for slaves in the West Indies.

HMS Pandora was the Royal Navy warship sent to the South Pacific to capture the 25 men who had 'pirated' the Bounty and cast adrift her Captain, William Bligh.
Bligh managed to sail back to England to report the incident which resulted in the frigate HMS Pandora being commissioned to search the Pacific and bring the Bounty mutineers to justice.
In 1787 Lieutenant Bligh was appointed to command the ship HMS Bounty to collect breadfruit from the Pacific Islands.
