Music Afloat: Musical Encounters, Maps ... and Mutiny

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Sue Cook presents a series which looks at the role of music and musicians in sea journeys across the ages, from epic voyages of discovery to luxury cruises.

Musicians played a crucial part in Captain Cook's historic expeditions, both on ship and on shore. William Bligh insisted on daily dancing for the crew, but did that contribute to the Mutiny of the Bounty?
