	Unrest and Mutiny
		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 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.

	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.

		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.
