The Creole mutiny, sometimes called the Creole case, was a slave revolt aboard the American slave ship Creole in November 1841, when the brig was seized by the 128 slaves who were aboard the ship when it reached Nassau in the British colony of the Bahamas, where slavery had been abolished. The brig was transporting enslaved people as part of the coastwise slave trade in the American South. It has been described as “the most successful [antebellum] slave revolt in US history.” Two died in the revolt, an enslaved person and a member of the crew.
