Thomas Burkitt
He was 5'9" tall, with fair complexion, brown hair, slender made, very tattooed.
His face was severely pitted by smallpox, and was said to be a menacing looking man.
One of the most active mutineers, he was on the forward watch at the time of the mutiny, and was one of the group who confronted Bligh in his cabin.
After the mutiny, Burkitt was one of the mutineers who insisted on returning to Tahiti. He, Sumner, and Muspratt settled on the western coast, south of Matavai Bay, at a place called Papara.
He was tried, convicted, and hanged aboard the 'Brunswick'.
