Several things. Perhaps mostly for the mutiny when he was commander of HMS Bounty and the amazing 3,618 nautical mile journey in an open boat when he and 18 loyal crewmen were cast adrift. He was Sailing Master for James Cook aboard HMS Resolution and made Governor of New South Wales. There is no evidence to suggest he was the tyrant as portrayed in several movies. In fact he was an enlightened commander and used lesser punishments than many other commanders of the time.
