| Notes: | The mutineers sailed the Bounty back to Tahiti after setting Captain Bligh and his loyal crewmen adrift. Tahiti was a paradise, but they all knew that some day the British Navy would come looking for them and that, if caught, they would be executed. So late in December, 1789, the Bounty set sail to the east. Aboard were nine of the original mutineers along with 12 Tahitian women and six Tahitian men. They were searching for an uncharted island where they could never be found.
