The Bounty mutineers settled some in Pitcairn, some in Tahiti
The mutineers from the HMS Bounty settled on Pitcairn Island in 1790. After the mutiny led by Fletcher Christian against Captain William Bligh, they sought a remote location to avoid British authorities. The group, along with some Tahitian companions, established a community on the island, which remains inhabited by their descendants today.
The inhabitants of Pitcairn Island are descended from the mutineers of the Bounty.However, this is not strictly correct, as most of the mutineers did not survive. After taking the HMS Bounty back to Tahiti, they collected 6 Polynesian men and 12 women. They sailed on to Pitcairn Island, arriving there in January 1790. They burnt the ship, and established a colony on Pitcairn Island. In 1808, an American sealing ship landed at Pitcairn Island, and discovered that most of the mutineers had been killed by disease, suicide or been victims of murder. Of all the mutineers, both European and Polynesian, only one survived - a man by the name of John Adams. Adams was a changed man after his conversion to Christianity, and he went on to become the respected leader on Pitcairn Island.
Generally speaking the term of mutiny is used for a rebellion against proper authority on a naval vessel. The term was most noticeable in the famed movie classic, Mutiny on the Bounty. ( HMS Bounty )
Mutineers' Moon was created in 1991-10.
The HMS Pandora was a British Royal Navy ship that met with calamity in 1791 while on a mission to capture the mutineers of the HMS Bounty. After successfully locating some of the mutineers on Tahiti, the Pandora was shipwrecked on the Great Barrier Reef while attempting to return to England. The ship struck the reef and sank, resulting in the loss of 31 crew members and stranding the survivors on nearby islands until they were rescued.
