Five months later, they  did not want to leave. Under the leadership of Fletcher Christian most  of the crew mutinied soon after sailing from Tahiti, setting Captain  William Bligh and 18 loyal crewmen adrift in a small open boat. In one  of history's great feats of seamanship, Bligh navigated this tiny vessel  for 3618 nautical miles to Timor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFletcher Christian and the  mutineers sailed back to Tahiti, where most remained and were later  tried for mutiny. But Christian, along with eight fellow mutineers and  some Tahitian men and women, sailed off into the unknown, eventually  discovering the isolated Pitcairn Island - at the time not even marked  on British maps - and settling there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis astonishing story is  historical adventure at its very best, encompassing the mutiny, Bligh's  monumental achievement in navigating to safety, and Fletcher Christian  and the mutineers' own epic journey from the sensual paradise of Tahiti  to the outpost of Pitcairn Island. The mutineers' descendants live on  Pitcairn to this day, amid swirling stories and rumours of past sexual  transgressions and present-day repercussions. \u003ci\u003eMutiny on the Bounty\u003c\/i\u003e  is a sprawling, dramatic tale of intrigue, bravery and sheer boldness,  told with the accuracy of historical detail and total command of story  that are Peter FitzSimons' trademarks.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44892061204709,"sku":"NP9780733634116","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/O_edbacd9d-d561-45e4-ac56-95321282be60.jpg?v=1773104040","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/mutiny-on-the-bounty-isbn-9780733634116","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
