16 April 1797,

On 16 ships from the British Naval Army of the King of England, the sailors mutated. It was a protest against the precarious working conditions on board. It was proclaimed The Floating Republic. Through the elected representatives, an attempt was made to negotiate with the admiral, and the requests included the salary increase, the elimination of the additional benefit of the crew leader and the expulsion of several officers. The same happened later on in Nore.
