Template information

After a stop at Tahiti, the Bounty lifted anchor in December 1787. On the way home, a riot broke out on the ship. The reason was the excessively strict discipline that the captain had introduced after the good times in Tahiti. Discontent on board culminated in open mutiny. Christian Fletcher took command of the ship and Captain Bligh and 18 loyal sailors had to abandon ship in a boat on the open sea. After a perilous ride of 4,000 miles, Bligh and his men reached the island of Timor; whence they went to England. The frigate Bounty returned to Tahiti, there, part of the crew remained in Paradise. Fletcher settled on Pitcairn Island with the rest of the sailors and settled there.
