But didn’t Bligh have three mutinies before someone in the navy got him to retire?
If I remember correctly, he had three mutinies in the Navy, though two of those were part of more widespread mutinies during the Napoleonic Wars.
After he retired from the Navy and was appointed Governor of New South Wales the local Army regiment, which was totally corrupt, mutinied against him when he tried to cut back on their corruption and oppression.
It seems none of the four mutinies were really justified in any sense, as Bligh was not particularly more brutal than normal in the RN. But he apparently had a remarkable talent for speaking harshly to subordinates, particularly his officers.
The tragedy of his life was that he was born too early for Dale Carnegie.
