The UK Daily Mail has a feature story about the 1797 mutiny onboard the HMS Hermione, an English frigate stationed in the Caribbean.
Good story, go and read all of it. Cruelty by tyrannical captains was the cause of several mutinies during the era of the Napoleonic Wars, and much of the fleet mutinied at Spithead and The Nore in what was an early example of a worker's strike. More info can be found here.
