Today in Labor History January 26, 1808: Soldiers took over New South Wales, Australia, during the Rum Rebellion. It was Australia’s only military coup. At the time, NSW was a British penal colony. William Bligh was governor of the territory. This was the same William Bligh who was an officer under Captain Cook when he attempted to kidnap the King of Hawai’i. He was also the same William Bligh who was overthrown in the Mutiny on the Bounty, in 1789. It is questionable why the British thought he’d do better in charge of a bunch of prisoners and unruly soldiers, than he did with a bunch of sailors. Perhaps they were just desperate. One of Bligh’s commissions was to reign in the Rum Corps, which held a monopoly on the illegal rum trade in Australia. They also controlled the sale of other commodities. Bligh started to enforce penalties for the illegal sale and importation of liquor. He also tried to provide relief to farmers, suffering from recent flooding and price-gouging by the Rum Corps, by providing provisions from the colony’s stores. The monopolists didn’t like his looting of the stores, from which they were profiting handsomely, nor his enforcement of the liquor laws. So, they arrested him and deported him to Hobart, Van Diemen’s Land. The military remained in control of NSW until 1810.

How to kill a god: the myth of Captain Cook shows how the heroes of empire will fall

In the 18th century, the naval explorer was worshipped as a deity. Now his statues are being defaced across the lands he visited

Day 19 of the : Travel Writing, both domestic and international, was hugely popular in this periodical. Domestic travel series or one-off pieces seem often to have been original, but the magazine also published abridged and extracted versions of expensive travel writing volumes which it “adapted for the ladies”, including its 5-year serialization of Cook’s third voyage, from which this engraving is taken.
