“This Is MUTINY, Mr. Christian.”

Did You Know? “The famed “”Mutiny on the Bounty”” Incident occurred on Apr. 28, 1789. It has been commemorated by books, films, and popular songs, many of which take considerable liberties with the facts. The mutiny was led by Fletcher Christian against the commanding officer, William Bligh. According to most accounts, the sailors were attracted to the idyllic life on the Pacific island of Tahiti and repelled by the harsh treatment from their captain.
The mutineers set Lieutenant Bligh and crew loyal to him afloat in a small boat. Mutineers then settled on Pitcairn Island or in Tahiti. The HMS Bounty was subsequently burned off Pitcairn Island to avoid detection and to prevent desertion. Descendants of some of the mutineers and Tahitians still live on Pitcairn island.” LEARN MORE.
