what happened on Pitcain Island once Fletcher and his crew got there was horrific too. I think most of the men became addicted to homemade alcohol and killed each other off eventually. There was drunkness, murder and jealousy.

The descendants of all of those men are still living there today. From what I read it's a desolate kind of place.

..in sharp contrast to how the allegedly villainous Bligh maintained order and kept his men alive for weeks on a lifeboat. Christian was a selfish narcissist and most of the mutineers were thugs. You wouldn't expect such a colony to last very long - although there are people on Pitcairn to this day who are descendants of the mutineers.
