Also on Tubuai there is the foundation of Fort George. After the takeover of the HMS Bounty, Fletcher Christan and other mutaneers landed here and contructed a fort named after King George. Due in large part to disagreements with the native inhabitants the Bounty crew departed Tubuai. They landed at Pitcairn Island where the Bounty was burned to hide their location.
