Historical background of our logo.
The logo of Act of Mutiny originates from a drawing made by the well-known writer artist Arne Zuidhoek. As a writer of over 30 booktitles, he is an acknowledged expert in the field of maritime history.
The original drawing can be seen on the site of Arne zuidhoek; www.zuidhoek.nu at illustraties/portfolio.
The picture suggests conspiracy and suspicion on board. Matters that prelude the mutiny itself. Below you will find the explanation of the historical background by Arne Zuidhoek himself:
Perhaps you would like to know why the drawing has ever been made. This is quickly told:
It is 1492. A certain source says that after about a week, while on his way to the east, Columbus loses heart. It took too long for him, this Japan and all that. It were the Pinzón’s who told him not to nag but to go on. The men were sniggering behind his back about that poltroon who was standing somewhat shaken and bent over the railing in a sulk. In fact this was a reversed situation. Not the crew felt the need to mutiny, but the commander.
Well, they sailed on. And we all know how it ended.
With kind regards,
Arne Zuidhoek.
