Cape Horn Mutiny

The Cape Horn Mutiny occurred in 1915 aboard the British merchant ship S.S. Warilda near Cape Horn, Chile. Crew members, frustrated by harsh conditions, poor pay, and management issues, rebelled against the captain. The mutiny involved violence and an attempt to seize control of the ship. Ultimately, the mutineers were subdued, and the captain retained authority. This event highlights the tensions and challenges faced by sailors operating in difficult, isolated environments, especially during long voyages in the early 20th century.
