Question - 448


Connect the event to the group.

Answer: The painting shows the mutiny on the HMS Bounty. The mutineers settled in Pitcairn islands where their descendants (numbering around 40 or so - all descended from the handful of English mutineers and the Tahitian women they took with them) still live. Arvind, Adi, Nihar, Matti Tapaninen and Karthik got it. Well done all.
