Fletcher Christian, acting 2nd Lieutenant, irritated at the arbitrary conduct of Lieut. Bligh, began constructing a raft in order to leave the ship by night. Another sailor suggested to him that he may as well take the ship and turn the Captain adrift, since they were all dissatisfied. He followed this suggestion, and the next day, April 28, 1789, more than half the ship's company joined in the mutiny. The Captain and his party were sent adrift, and after much suffering, reached Timor.

Fletcher Christian took the Bounty and the rest of the crew to Tahiti, where they had previously been. In September of the same year, he and eight other men from the Bounty, six Tahitian men, eleven Tahitian women and one child, sailed away from the others, leaving them there at their request. At the beginning of the following year, they landed on an uninhabited island, Pitcairn's, and burned the ship in order to escape detection.

At first, the island seemed a paradise. But then the Englishmen mistreated the Tahitians and stole one of their wives, causing a rebellion. Within four years, Fletcher Christian, all of the Tahitian men and all but four of the Englishmen had been murdered.
