THE BOUNTY was a merchant vessel but armed with four

cannons, famous above all for the famous mutiny that took place in 1789, an event described in numerous films and adventure books.

The bounty in 1787 was supposed to reach Tahiti leaving from England under the command of Captain Bligh who was 45 years old but in his first experience of command. More reconstructions or less truthful, they have highlighted that it was a discipline imposed by the commander (certainly not unusual in those times) that triggered the mutiny, even if there was those who maintain that a non-secondary role had the will of sailors to return to Tahiti and the Tahitian Islands frequented during a long stop obligatory due to weather conditions.

It is no coincidence that some of the mutineers subsequently settled in those places, marrying Tahitian women.

More in general, the vessel has represented the main battleship of all navies since the 17th century, which then declined to the detriment of the largest small, agile Frigate, and above all for the advent of steam-powered armored ships.
