HMS Bounty


HMS "Bounty, also known as HM Armed Vessel "Bounty, was a small merchant vessel that the Royal Navy purchased for a botanical mission. The ship was sent to the Pacific Ocean under the command of William Bligh to acquire breadfruit plants and transport them to British possessions in the West Indies. That mission was never completed due to a mutiny led by acting lieutenant Fletcher Christian. This incident is now popularly known as the mutiny on the "Bounty". The mutineers later burned "Bounty" while she was moored at

Bounty was an enlarged reconstruction of the original 1787 Royal Navy sailing ship . Built in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia in 1960, she sank off the coast of North Carolina during Hurricane Sandy on 29 October 2012. The tall ship was often referred to as HMS "Bounty", but was not entitled to the use of the prefix "HMS" as she was not commissioned into the Royal Navy. Here "HMS" is treated as part of the popular name, and not as a ship prefix. "Bounty" was commissioned

The "Bounty" Bible is a Bible that is thought to have been used on HMS "Bounty", the ship famed for the Mutiny on the "Bounty". In January 1790, nine of the mutineers from the ship and their Tahitian companions (six men, eleven women and a baby) settled on Pitcairn Island, having anchored HMS "Bounty" in a small bay on the northern side of the island and set it on fire after everything of utility was landed.

Edward "Ned" Young (c. 1762 – 25 December 1800), was a British sailor, mutineer from the famous HMS "Bounty" incident, and co-founder of the mutineers' Pitcairn Island settlement. Young was born on the West Indian island of St. Kitts. He apparently came from a poor family, but he did attend school. He joined the crew of HMS "Bounty" as a midshipman in 1787 when she sailed from England to Tahiti. After the "Bounty" departed from Tahiti in 1789 several

Following this work, "Bounty" was scheduled to repeat the famous voyage of the original "Bounty". During the 2006 refit, the ship was virtually rebuilt to make her appearance more similar to that of the original HMS "Bounty", and make her more suitable for service as a sail training vessel. Her lower decks were cleared of most of their 18th-century-style furnishings and living spaces,

The Eventful History of the Mutiny and Piratical Seizure of HMS Bounty


The Eventful History of the Mutiny and Piratical Seizure of H.M.S. Bounty: Its Cause and Consequences (1831) by Sir John Barrow is considered the classic account of the mutiny on the "Bounty". It includes a description of the island of Tahiti, and a narrative of events from the embarkation of the "Bounty" in 1787 through to the trial of some of the mutineers in 1792 and the survival of others on Pitcairn Island. The story is told through the medium of the original documents in the case, which Barrow

The gun was subsequently returned to Pitcairn Island where it has been placed on display in a new community hall.

After the decision was made to settle on Pitcairn, livestock and other provisions were removed from the "Bounty". To prevent the ship's detection, and anyone's possible escape, the ship was burned on 23 January 1790 in what is now called Bounty Bay.

Thomas Ellison (1772 – 29 October 1792) was an able seaman on His Majesty's Armed Ship "Bounty". After participating in the Mutiny on the "Bounty" on 28 April 1789, he remained in Tahiti rather than continuing on to the Pitcairn Islands with the inner core of the mutineers, and in 1791 voluntarily turned himself in to the seamen of HMS "Pandora" to face justice in England. He was court-martialed at Spithead in September 1792, sentenced to death, and hanged on 29 October.

For a full month, the crew attempted to take the ship west, around South America's Cape Horn, but adverse weather prevented this. Bligh then proceeded east, rounding the southern tip of Africa (Cape Agulhas) and crossing the width of the Indian Ocean. During the outward voyage, Bligh demoted Sailing Master John Fryer, replacing him with Fletcher Christian. This act seriously damaged the relationship between Bligh and Fryer

Caroline Alexander points out in her 2003 book "The Bounty" that Bligh was relatively lenient compared with other British naval officers. Bligh enjoyed the patronage of Sir Joseph Banks, a wealthy botanist and influential figure in Britain at the time.

Following the mutiny led by Fletcher Christian, the "Bounty" was taken to Tahiti for a few days before being compelled to set sail. McCoy joined Christian and seven other mutineers. They took eleven Tahitian women and six men with them. After months at sea, the mutineers discovered the uninhabited Pitcairn Island and settled there in January 1790.
