One of the entries for 1815 says "Governor Bligh", but Blight left Australia in 1811 to return to London and never returned to the south again.

There might be a ship named the Governor Bligh but that would be a huge coincidence.

Its the name of the ship

Sealers from the Governor Bligh under captain John Grono are the first Europeans to land in Canterbury at Banks Peninsula.

That's some serious brown-nosing, they literally named the ship after Bligh while he was still Governor!
