Abstract

The circumstances in which the bad language of William Bligh, captain of the ship 'HMS Bounty', resulted in a mutiny among his crew in 1790 on a voyage in the Pacific Ocean are presented. It is suggested that his extremely disciplinarian language led to a lack of understanding of his seamen's hostile feelings towards him and their methods of discrediting him.
