FYI
Captain Bligh and the HMS Bounty, commissioned by the English Royal Navy, set sail for Asia in search of breadfruit trees to bring back to the islands of the West Indies to grow on colonial plantations for use as slave food. Water supplies on board ran low and water was given first to the breadfruit before the crew which resulted in the infamous mutiny.
Descendants of one of the original breadfruit trees to survive are still bearing fruit in Kingston Botanical Gardens on the island of St. Vincent (St. Vincent & the Grenadines).
