when a captain of a ship has to be restrained because of insanity, and replaced by the first mate until they reach port?

It's not mutiny. That's a rebellion. This would be for the safety of the sailors and the ship.

I'm talking about the OLD days, before airplanes and such.

Relieved of command, yes, but there is a particular word they use...and can't remember it.

Being relieved of command. It's a dangerous move, because you'd need to have almost all of the officers and crew behind you. If not, it can be constued as mutiny. Or even if it is.

actually the doctor on the ship can "releave" the captain of a ship for a medical condtion. its usually just called "releaved for cause" or "releaved from duty" this can only be done if the Captian is a danger to himself or the ship. then the first officer would assume command until replaced or put in at port (mission dependant)

in a case like that an admiral would be flown in to relieve the captain of his duty and the captain would flown home to a mental hosptial
