28 April 1789: Mutiny on the Bounty - On This Day in Working Class History

On this day, 28 April 1789, Fletcher Christian led the mutiny on the Royal Navy ship the Bounty against the bullying and oppressive Captain William Bligh. The crew seized control of the ship and set Bligh and 18 of his supporters adrift, who famously survived. Some of the mutineers were captured, but others eventually settled with some Polynesians they effectively enslaved in the previously unpopulated Pitcairn Islands, where their descendants live to this day. Later, the Polynesians would revolt against the mutineers.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9969/mutiny-on-the-bountyOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.
