Sea Tales - Season 1 Episode 8 Mutiny on the Bounty
In the spring of 1789, British sailor Fletcher Christian and his band of accomplices staged a hostile takeover of the ship Bounty and its captain William Bligh. The account of what followed has been shaped as much by Hollywood creative screenwriters as it was by fact. When Bligh and his men set sail for Tahiti the stage had already been set for a turbulent voyage, but it would have been hard to envisage just how badly it would conclude. Bligh started his career as a reluctant sailor and his leadership qualities were weak at best. Many months of life on the high seas saw an almost fatal breakdown of morale that left the crew ripe for a mutinous rebellion. With Bligh's appalling, almost in-human treatment of his crew, it was only a matter of time before all hell broke loose. But what was the truth behind the fiction? Join us as we revisit the past and unravel the mysteries behind the most dramatic and famous uprising on the high seas.
