      Well, most countries that are not North Korea frown on the idea of charges passing from ancestor to descendant. So since it was the ancestors of the islanders who were guilty of mutiny, this would kinda be against international law. It would be extremely funny though if a judge had accepted the idea and then the government of NZ just closed the borders to the "totally real and independent nation of Pitcairne".

    Actually history shows that Bligh's punishments were more often verbal than physical. One of the real reasons behind the mutiny was class. Bligh was from a working class family, Fletcher Christian was from aristocracy and resented being ordered by someone he was as beneath him. The stories of Bligh's cruelties were exaggerated by mutineers in effort to save themselves when caught.

    • @danielhatcher9840

      The crew mentality must be taken into account..every crewmember was a volunteer..a trait that set them apart from Royal Navy sailors and Civilian Sailors who had been coerced into the Merchant fleet.
      Bligh had sailed with Captain Cook on his world trip and so had many of the Bounty crew..that trip was the stuff of epic legends for sailors..and Cook along with Bligh were very well liked by the sailors..when another trip to the tropics was announced..sailors gleefully volunteered to go on the Bounty.
      With the idea that Bligh would behave as Cook did.
      Bligh...may have been light on corporal punishment..but he was heavy on his disrespect and personal attacks against his officers as well as individual crew...a no-no...captains do not engage in reprimanding the common sailors..that is delegated to the officers to handle....to Bligh no insult or degrading treatment was off limits...He wasnt dealing with a crew of Dogs..He was dealing with a crew of volunteers

    The funny thing is that, according to a completely different video, this island was a candidate for a half-baked project/idea called Reddit Island; an island by and for Redditors (yes, a plan doomed to fail). They planned on immigrating en masses to the island and outvoting the locals for control of the island. Needless to say, they didn't think the plan very well through due to the immigration scam the island had going and that it would still be under British law, not to mention the issue of getting to the island in the first place. This candidate island was dropped and the group was scammed out of their money on a different island candidate.

      George Orwell on 🌏:
      “Does *NOT* rest on *REASONING* or on *EXPERIMENT* but on *AUTHORITY* “
      ‘As I Please’
      “SOMEWHERE or other-I think it is in the preface to Saint Joan-Bernard Shaw remarks that we are more gullible and superstitious today than we were in the Middle Ages, and as an example of modern credulity he cites the widespread belief that the earth is round. The average man, says Shaw, can advance not a single reason for thinking that the earth is round. He merely swallows this theory because there is something about it that appeals to the twentieth-century mentality.
      Now, Shaw is exaggerating, but there is something in what he says, and the question is worth following up, for the sake of the light it throws on modern knowledge. Just why do we believe that the earth is round? I am not speaking of the few thousand astronomers, geographers and so forth who could give ocular proof, or have a theoretical knowledge of the proof, but of the ordinary newspaper-reading citizen, such as you or me.
      As for the Flat Earth theory, I believe I could refute it. If you stand by the seashore on a clear day, you can see the masts and funnels of invisible ships passing along the horizons. This phenomenon can only be explained by assuming that the earth’s surface is curved. But it does not follow that the earth is spherical. Imagine another theory called the Oval Earth theory, which claims that the earth is shaped like an egg. What can I say against it?
      Against the Oval Earth man, the first card I can play is the analogy of the sun and moon. The Oval Earth man promptly answers that I don’t know, by my own observation, that those bodies are spherical. I only know that they are round, and they may perfectly well be flat discs. I have no answer to that one. Besides, he goes on, what reason have I for thinking that the earth must be the same shape as the sun and moon? I can’t answer that one either.
      My second card is the earth’s shadow: when cast on the moon during eclipses, it appears to be the shadow of a round object. But how do I know, demands the Oval Earth man, that eclipses of the moon are caused by the shadow of the earth? The answer is that I don’t know, but have taken this piece of information blindly from newspaper articles and science booklets.
      Defeated in the minor exchanges, I now play my queen of trumps: the opinion of the experts. The Astronomer Royal, who ought to know, tells me that the earth is round. The Oval Earth man covers the queen with his king. Have I tested the Astronomer Royal’s statement, and would I even know a way of testing it? Here I bring out my ace. Yes, I do know one test. The astronomers can foretell eclipses, and this suggests that their opinions about the solar system are pretty sound. I am therefore justified in accepting their say-so about the shape of the earth.
      If the Oval Earth man answers-what I believe is true-that the ancient Egyptians, who thought the sun goes round the earth, could also predict eclipses, then bang goes my ace. I have only one card left: navigation. People can sail ships round the world, and reach the places they aim at, by calculations which assume that the earth is spherical. I believe that finishes the Oval Earth man, though even then he may possibly have some kind of counter.
      It will be seen that my reasons for thinking that the earth is round are rather precarious ones. Yet this is an exceptionally elementary piece of information. On most other questions I should have to fall back on the expert much earlier, and would be less able to test his pronouncements. And much the greater part of our knowledge is at this level. It does not rest on reasoning or on experiment, but on authority. And how can it be otherwise, when the range of knowledge is so vast that the expert himself is an ignoramous as soon as he strays away from his own speciality? Most people, if asked to prove that the earth is round, would not even bother to produce the rather weak arguments I have outlined above. They would start off by saying that ’everyone knows’ the earth to be round, and if pressed further, would become angry. In a way Shaw is right. This is a credulous age, and the burden of knowledge which we now have to carry is partly responsible.”

    Today in my lectures about creole languages the professor started explaining the Norfolk Island creole, which is also spoken by the Pitcairnese. While he introduced the islands I couldn't resist snickering, as I remembered this video. He instantly knew why I was smiling and he said something along the lines of "Let's not mention that story".
    Apparently the language has some linguistic traits that come from Scots, since some original settlers were Scottish, such as plural pronouns.

      You should look it up.

He started teaching reading and writing to the children based on the Bible, and his contribution to the survival of the island was so much that the only settlement in the island is named Adamstown after him. Anyway, as history shows, the dark roots of their settlement would come back to haunt them sooner or later.

      It's very likely that the islanders weren't wholly speaking out their arse's about the whole 'Polynesian traditions' thing and that the guy's were kiddy fiddlers from the start. Polynesian tradition is in reality just the type of culture that the mutineers set up considering that the first women were kidnapped natives and the first men were of the type to commit treason and condemn their fellows to a slow death at sea over some snatch.

    The most ridiculous part about Bligh is that instead of giving him another ship after the mutiny on the Bounty, the British decided to make him Governor of New South Wales........where he was ousted in the first (and to date, only) military coup in Australian history, the Rum Rebellion.

      Both times Bligh was the only sane and honest man.
      The Bounty mutiny was when the crew decided to mutiny and desert because they were sick of being sailors. Bligh and the few remaining loyalists were placed in a boat and somehow made it to civilization. The mutineers fled to Pitcain Island with some native girls and the survivors were the progenitors of the native inhabitants.
      The second time Bligh found out that the local garrison in Australia was corrupt and sought to bring them to justice. The Army officers who ran the garrison ran a lot of scams. One scam took sheep meant to be slaughtered for mutton to feed the prisoners and used them to grow wool instead while the prisoners starved. They had friends back home and were never punished for anything they did. Bligh was villaified for the Bounty mutiny and was cast as a cruel monster, allowing them to keep their posts and their ill gotten gains.
