The mission of this 19th century [[England|British]] [[Navy]]  [[ship]] was to acquire [[breadfruit]] trees from  [[Tahiti]]. Although this was done, the Bounty's extended stay in Tahiti (where several crew members had formed relationships) and the claims of tyranny by the Captain, led to a desire on the part of First Mate Fletcher Christian and many of the crewmen to remain in Tahiti, which led to the mutiny.  Knowing that they could not escape the whole of the British navy, the mutineers eventually settled on [[Pitcairn Island]]. Their descendants live on the island to this day. Some descendants moved on to nearby Norfolk Island, a former [[England|British]] penal colony.
