    		John Adams was the last surviving Bounty mutineer on Pitcairn Island.
    He acheived this in 1800, when Ned Young died.

    Midshipman Peter Heywood was convicted of the mutiny and sentenced to death, but later pardoned. He outlived Adams and had a distinguished career in the navy. He was the inspiration for the character Roger Byam in the Nordhoff/Hall book (and later film) "Mutiny on the Bounty"
