The mutiny on board the Bounty was the most famous mutiny to occur in history. After living with and working for Captain Bligh for over nine months, the majority of the crew could no longer take his harsh rules and contemptuous manner. They dreaded the journey back to England with Bligh. Thus, in 1789, one month into the return journey to England from Tahiti, there was a mutiny on board.
After forcibly removing their oppressive Captain off the ship, the mutineers of the Bounty sailed back to Tahiti to their beautiful women, a Utopian lifestyle and a 'happy ever after.' So just how did their fate unfold?
The author Cal Adams is the great, great, great, great-granddaughter of John Adams (1767-1829), a Bounty mutineer who settled on Pitcairn Island.
