	Unrest and Mutiny (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Mutiny was not very well defined in the Articles of War and it was the captain of the ship who had to decide whether or not an offence was serious enough to be treated as mutiny.
		For this reason, mutiny usually happened in port where there were senior officers on hand who could be called upon to intervene to hear the grievance and, rather urprisingly, the mutineers usually got a fair hearing and in some cases changes were made and no disciplinary action was taken.
		Mutiny was a serious business and a failed mutiny saw men swinging at the yardarms of their own ships in exemplary punishments handed out by courts martial determined to remove this blight from the service.

		Mutiny may be committed on a private vessel whether it is at sea or in port.
		Mutinies tend to occur with some frequency in the armed forces of nations on the point of suffering defeat; thus, in 1918 the German navy mutinied at Kiel and the Austrian navy at Cattaro (now Kotor).
		A mutiny may be the signal for a revolution, as were the Russian mutinies in 1905 and 1917 at Kronshtadt.

		Mutiny is described as, "open revolt against constituted authority" by the Oxford English Dictionary, and could be applied to any act of insubordination or defiance by an individual or collectively by a ship's crew.
		The mutiny at Spithead was conducted in a peaceful and organised manner and within a few weeks their demands had been met and a Royal Pardon granted.
		The mutiny at the Nore in May 1797 was potentially more serious as the mutineers attempted to go beyond the demands made at Spithead.

		Discontent among sailors at the Nore, a Royal Navy anchorage in the Thames Estuary, overflowed in riotous mutiny in May 1797.
		Despite a reasonable start the mutiny was hijacked by radical delegates to the unofficial Fleet Parliament whose intransigence and bid for a mini social revolution hardened the stance of the Government and Lords of the Admiralty.
		An earlier mutiny at Spithead had been settled peacefully with a Royal Pardon and major gains for the mutineers.

	Mutinies: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage
		In 1797 England was shocked when the crews of warships stationed at Spithead and the Nore mutinied over a number of grievances that were subsequently recognized as legitimate.
		The mutiny was more in the nature of a labour dispute, but coming as it did during a war with England's great enemy, it was perceived and responded to as a revolutionary event.
		In the general sense, the "mutiny" on the Latona and the conspiracy within the Newfoundland Regiment can be viewed as expressions of intense frustration and anger with the harsh discipline and service endured in wartime Newfoundland.

		Bligh was in command of the Director for over five years (from January 4, 1796, to March 13, 1801), during the mutiny at the Nore as well as at the Battle of Camperdown when Admiral Duncan defeated the Dutch under Admiral de Winter.
		At the time of the mutiny, the Bounty was sailing on a north-westerly course from Nomuka and was approximately equidistant from Kotu and Tofua.
		The mutiny took place ten leagues (thirty nautical miles) to the south-west of Tofua and Bligh and the eighteen loyalists sought refuge in a cave on the sheltered north-west coast of the island in an attempt to augment their meager provisions.

		The Great Mutiny at Nore, a sandbank in the Thames estuary that was the primary site of anchorage for the British fleet, rocked the British navy to its core.
		Of the thousands of men who participated in the mutiny at Nore, many of them gloriously absolved themselves by their heroism at Trafalgar, where the French were defeated.
		Although the mutinies were put down, and some of the underlying causes were addressed, the navy was not able to ameliorate discontent completely because it still had to rely upon impressment to fill its ranks.

		For some reason Parker rejected his family business and went to sea as a midshipman where his naval career, even before the Nore Mutiny, was chequered with a history of insubordination, a willingness to stand up for good food and better conditions.
		Despite his intelligence Parker's position was difficult in the extreme and he walked a taut wire between radical fellow delegates and the intransigence of the Admiralty.
		The former president of the fleet told his interrogators he had been ignored when he had called for moderation during the mutiny and that he had hoped to "prevent wild men from doing worse injury to the country".

	June 14th
		In April the Government were startled to hear that a mutiny had been planned at Spithead; the fleet was ordered hastily out to sea, as the most prudent course; but the seamen took matters at once into their own hands.
		The Nore fleet mutinied on the 20th, and called themselves a 'floating republic,' under the presidency of Richard Parker, a sailor of some education and much ambition.
		This was a mutiny that obtained very little of the public sympathy; it was not a demand for redress of real grievances, so much as an attempt to republicanize the fleet.

		Another value this narrative has is the fact that the writer saw the events of the time from another point of view, from that occupied by Captain Cunningham, of whose full and precise history we completed the publication last week.
		Captain Cunningham appears to attribute the mutiny to over indulgence of the men, and ignores or undervalues the grievances which certainly did exist in the then treatment of the navy.
		Bastard, without at all showing sympathy with the cause of the mutineers, by some of the facts he sets down, maybe considered to admit that the discontent of which Parker made capital was not an entirely unreasonable feeling.

		Spithead was part of that rising movement: ships of the line were the largest workplaces of the day, and the mutiny of the whole Channel Fleet was really a special form of mass strike in which the stakes were exceptionally high.
		Sadly, victory in Portsmouth was followed by the defeat of a second mutiny at the Nore in the Thames estuary (where about 30 men were hanged and many others flogged round the fleet).
		But this does not change the fact that the Spithead Mutiny remains a beacon of the power of the rank and file and a glorious episode in the history of the oppressed.
