College Literature.... Help me out if you can.

College Literature.... Help me out if you can.
I cant remember the characters or the name of the book, it has been so long, late 90s, when I read it. But if I am remembering the plot correctly, it went like this. The superior officer was a giant douche bullying everyone until the "tragic hero" had enough and punched him and killed him. Now I don't remember if it was a merchant ship, or military ship, but if I am remembering correctly the "tragic hero" was forced to walk the plank because, rules/protocol say you cannot strike a superior ever, as implied by the book, even though the crew understood why.

It was not Mutiny On the Bounty.  But the implied era was the 1700s or 1800s. 

Anyone have a clue what that might be?
