# Paradise, breadfruit and mutiny.

When HMAV Bounty reached Cape Horn, Tierra del Fuego, it was summer. Seasons mean little that far south; the 'Horn' is notorious for vicious storms and treacherous waves. The Bounty crew spent a month attempting passage into the Pacific. Cold and defeated, they headed across the South Atlantic for the Cape of Good Hope, Africa. The ship put in at False Bay and spent another month repairing and restocking.
