The Voyage of the Bounty

The HMS Bounty was a British naval ship that was commissioned in 1787. The Bounty was sent on a mission to Tahiti to collect breadfruit plants. Breadfruit was a valuable food source in the Caribbean, and the British hoped to cultivate it in their colonies there.

The Bounty was commanded by William Bligh, a skilled navigator but a harsh disciplinarian. Bligh's strict rule angered many of the crew, and tensions began to rise on the ship.

The Mutiny

On April 28, 1789, the Bounty reached Tahiti. The crew spent several months on the island, and many of them began to enjoy the relaxed lifestyle of the Tahitians. When it came time to leave, many of the crew were reluctant to return to the harsh discipline of the Bounty.

On April 28, 1789, Fletcher Christian led a group of mutineers in a revolt against Bligh. Christian and his men seized control of the Bounty and set Bligh and 18 loyalists adrift in a small boat.
