So we are in agreement, Tahitian women are in fact sirens

My favourite part is that the reason the crew was pissed in the 1st place, is because they were being taken away from the beautiful Tahitian locals, who were much less sexually conservative, and would have sex in exchange for iron. To the point that ships were said to become structurally unstable because crew members were digging nails and fixings out of the ships frame to have iron to barter with. Sailing away from this rum soaked, beauty filled paradise to go and toil in squalid conditions and eat hardtack, turned the whole crew of the Bounty into a giant powder keg lol
