One of the most famous mutenis happened in 1789, the same year as the French revulotion. Bounty, whit the capitan William Bligh, was on their way to Tahiti to Westindia. On the 28 of April the crew made muteni whit Fletcher Christian and the support of officers. The capitan and 18 lojal crewmembers where forced down to in a lifeboat and had a rough ride over the ocean before they arrived on Taihiti. The men feelt like they lived in paradise and also fell in love whit women from the island. During this time muteni where punished whit death so the crew that did the muteni had to find somewhere to settled down. The choise feel on the island of Tubuai, But conflicts whit the locals forced the men to move to Tahiti. Some of the men stayed there while others left for Pitcairn, an island on where it didn´t live any people. There their beeing become not so paradice, and ten years after the arrivile there where only one survivor from Bounty, still today there is relatives from the muntenis on Bounty living on Pitcarin.
