HMS Bounty refers to a ship of the 19th century British Navy made famous for the mutiny that occurred on board. The mission of the Bounty was to acquire breadfruit trees from the island of Tahiti. This was done. However, the Bounty's extended stay in Tahiti led to a desire on the part of First Mate Fletcher Christian and many of the crewmen to remain in Tahiti. This desire 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.
