  1. Lieutenant Bligh's fault was being too lenient with the crew of his ship. Too many of his crew were inexperienced seamen and after 5 months in Tahiti they didn't want to return to their duties. Bligh was such a tyrant that he preferred giving a tongue lashing over a flogging (as borne out by the Bounty's log book).
