| Mutiny on the Bounty (2170 words) |
| The nature of the Bounty's voyage is laid out in the very first scene of the 1935 version, in which Christian, commanding an impressment gang, seizes six landlubbers in a tavern for service in His Majesty's Navy on the Bounty. |
| The Bounty was purchased by the British Admiralty and re-christened from its original Bethia (as we are reminded by the 1935 movie, sailors consider the re-naming of any vessel to be bad luck). |
| Following the mutiny aboard the Bounty, Bligh was mutinied against in 1797 while serving as the captain of the H.M.S. Director, a 64-gun ship-of-the-line, during the briefly successful fleet uprising known as the "Mutiny at the Nore." He voluntarily relinquished command but was reinstated with the crew's approval when the fleet mutiny subsided. |
