Two hundred years ago on a sailing ship was not easy. You are hard bread and bad meat. You worked night and day, often cold and wet and hungry. You saw no land for months and months. There were dangerous storms and many accidents; some ships never came home again.

In 1787 HMS Bounty leaves England and sails halfway round the ship is William Bligh and his First Officer is Fletcher Christian. The Bounty is not a happy ship. Bligh is a hard man and his officers and his men do not like him. They are angry and afraid of more long months at sea. It takes a year to sail home to England… a year of Captain Bligh.

They begin to talk quietly …Why not stay here in Tahiti with its blue skies and its friendly people?Why do we need a captain? Why not put Captain Bligh in the ship’s boat and send him home to England in that?

But the punishment for mutiny is death…
