Great story, lovely coins!
I read about the Mutiny on the Bounty when I was a kid,
What happened to Mr. Christian and the Mutineers??? 😱

You read the 1932 Version by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall?
Well some of the names were adapted for the Fictional account of genuine facts.
Those that remained on Tahiti (16) at least one was killed by Tahitians, another killed by a crew mate, the others captured by the HMS Pandora where 4 drowned when to Pandora got wrecked, survivors were subjected to the judgment of the Admiralty. Check the link for the crew list details.
Christian and most of those on Pitcairn Island died except for John Adams when the colony were finally discovered in 1808 by an American ship. Adams was posthumously acquitted. The Mutineers left behind plenty of descendants.
Yeah
I read of those that went back to England and stand trial,
3 were hanged, 2 were pardoned, and 3 or 4 acquitted.
Interesting tale, but I guess like me, they all loved the
Island Girls 😋😋😋
