Bounty captain (5)
I believe the answer is:
bligh
'bounty captain' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for bligh that I've seen before include "The mutinous Bounty's captain" , "old captain dismissed" , "HMS Bounty captain" , "HMS Bounty's captain" , "CA [CHILDRENS ADVENTURE] captain" .)
