During the voyage, tensions between Captain Bligh and his second-in-command, Fletcher Christian, culminated in a dramatic mutiny on April 28, 1789.
The crew rebelled, seizing control of the ship and ending the original mission. This event, known as the Mutiny on the Bounty, has gone down in history as one of the most famous and dramatic events in maritime navigation.
The ship and its men were caught in a spiral of betrayal and rebellion, irrevocably marking the fate of the Bounty.
