   Hmmm,the storming of the Bastille was in July,   
   what revolting things happened in April?   
      
   Though coincidences of events do fascinate,as with the fact   
   that the famous Great Chicago Fire of 1871 was in fact not   
   the worst fire in terms of loss of life or property   
   ON THE SHORES OF LAKE MICHIGAN THAT NIGHT.   
   (Look up "Peshtigo").

   To be clear,Bligh did rise to and past the rank of Captain in   
   the fullness of time...after being Governor of New South Wales as   
   a Captain,he died a Vice Admiral.
