The ship HMS Bounty is famous for the fact that a mutiny happened on it. It happened as Captain Blyth was a hard task master and worked his crew constantly and gave harsh punishments for any misdemeaners.
Fletcher Christian and the crew mutinied and cast the captain and the officers adrift in a rowing boat and set sail for Tahiti wheresome of the crew settled. The rest set sail again and settled at another island where they married the inhabitants and had families.
The captain and the officers managed to get to land and eventually tell the Royal Navy about the mutiny which promted the only sentence available at that time for mutiny which was death by hanging. When the ship carrying Blyth and the others arrived at Tahiti, it was found that some of the crew were there and had families so a lesser sentence was imposed which was banishment, never to return to Britain or else the sentence would be commuted and the original sentence of death would be imposed.
