Uprising at Sea is a term used to describe a MUTINY, which is an act of rebellion against authority, usually involving a group of people. It is most commonly associated with sailors on a ship who refuse to obey orders from their commanding officers. The term is derived from the Latin word 'mutinare, ' which means 'to rebel.' Mutinies have occurred throughout history, often as a result of poor working conditions or mistreatment of the crew.
