Hugh Pigot (5 September 1769 – 21 September 1797) was an officer in the Royal Navy. Through his connections and their patronage, he was able to rise to the rank of captain, despite apparently poor leadership skills and a reputation for brutality. While he was captain of Hermione, he eventually provoked his men to mutiny. The mutiny, which became one of the bloodiest in the history of the Royal Navy, left Pigot and nine other officers dead. The Navy hunted down and executed a number of the mutineers and recaptured his ship from the Spanish, to whom the mutineers had turned it over.

  • Hugh Pigot (5 settembre 1769 – 21 settembre 1797) è stato un militare britannico. Attraverso la sua rete di amicizie riuscì ad avanzare al grado di capitano, nonostante le note scarse capacità di leadership e una reputazione di aggressività. Mentre era capitano dell'HMS Hermione provocò l'ammutinamento dei suoi uomini, fatto che divenne uno dei più sanguinosi nella storia della Royal Navy e che provocò la morte di Pigot e di altri nove ufficiali. La Marina inglese in seguito condannò a morte i ribelli che erano stati catturati e riconquistò la nave dagli spagnoli, alla quale gli ammutinati l'avevano consegnata. (it)
