Well, sweetheart, mutiny is basically a fancy term for a bunch of sailors deciding they're over their captain's crap and trying to take over the ship. Can't have a bunch of salty sea dogs running amok, now can we? So, to keep order and prevent chaos on the high seas, they had to come down hard on those rebellious rascals with some serious punishment. It's all about maintaining that delicate balance of power and discipline onboard, darling.

The serious punishment for mutiny on board ship was to set an example to others that mutiny would not be tolerate. The same punishment was metered out to other members of the armed forces on land who may also dare to mutiny.
