find it insane that the terror/erabus expedition and shackleton expedition have so much clout here on tumblr but the hms bounty voyage doesn't. i know none of the adaptations seem that fandomable but there are a lot of them to choose from and the actual event was imo way crazier than any adaptation can capture.

22 y/o upstart with an anxiety disorder mutinies against captain he has a weird psychosocial obsessive bond with who then completes an impossible shackleton-esque journey to save his mens lives. succeeds. majority of the mutineers mutiny again and choose to stay in tahiti while the remaining few take a band of polynesians and go form a colony on a tiny borderline unliveable island in the middle of nowhere.

one of the loyalist survivors then leads a ship to hunt down the mutineers. finds the ones who stayed on tahiti and brings them back to be tried in england but then that ship is dramatically wrecked and several of the mutineers die. few who lived were put on trial and some executed.

while all that is going on, all the men on the remote island are killing each other so the women end up inheriting the place keeping only one male alive and turning the island into a genuinely functioning society with literacy and a schoolhouse and female voting (their descendants are still there today). meanwhile the original captain became governor in australia and got mutinied yet again and imprisoned causing the overthrow of the australian government and the start of the rum rebellion.

and that's just a brief summary leaving out all of the weird stuff...
