What was Mutiny on the Bounty?
The mutiny on the Bounty is an interesting chapter in the history of the south Pacific. The 'HMS Bounty' was commanded by Captain William Bligh. It departed from England in late 1787, sailing with a crew of 45 men from, heading for Tahiti for the purpose of collecting breadfruit plants to be transplanted in the West Indies as cheap food for the slaves. During the Bounty's return trip to England, in April 1789, crewman Fletcher Christian and some other crew members mutinied, taking over the ship. It is not known to this day why they mutinied. They forced Captain Bligh and 18 crew into a 23-foot launch and set them adrift. It is to Captain Bligh's credit that he successfully sailed about 6000km back to England, arriving there almost a year later, in March 1790. The mutineers took the Bounty back to Tahiti, where they picked up 6 Polynesian men and 12 women. They then sailed on to Pitcairn Island, arriving there in January 1790. After burning the ship they established a colony on Pitcairn Island. Interestingly, by the time an American ship pulled in to Pitcairn in 1808, every one of the original crew and Polynesians, except for one individual named John Adama, had died from disease, suicide or murder. Adams went on to become a respected leader on the island. Captain Bligh himself had to endure a trial in England, at which he was acquitted, and he became the Governor of New South Wales from 1806 to 1808.
