[A report of the Mutiny on the Bounty]
An account published in The Gentleman’s Magazine of the infamous Mutiny on the Bounty. On the morning of 28 April 1789, just weeks after HMS Bounty had departed Tahiti for the West Indies, Fletcher Christian led a mutiny, seizing control of the ship with about half the crew. Lieutenant William Bligh and 18 loyalists were cast adrift in a 23-foot open launch with scant provisions and no charts. In an extraordinary feat of navigation and endurance, Bligh sailed over 3,600 nautical miles to Timor in 47 days, losing only one man. Christian and most of the mutineers fled to Pitcairn Island. The episode became a legendary tale of rebellion, leadership, and survival at sea—immortalised in three major film adaptations: the 1935 version starring Charles Laughton and Clark Gable, the 1962 remake with Trevor Howard and Marlon Brando, and the 1984 production The Bounty, featuring Anthony Hopkins and Mel Gibson.
