There was a famous hanging of three mutineers from the M.S. Bounty at Execution Block but that was in 1792.

LE

The were obviously more and many occasions to hang three mutineers at the same time.

I like your Interpretation but have a problem with you saying

The date 1879 is purely to give the listener the view he is thinking of the past and not a significant date with regards Execution dock. Hangings ceased at the dock in 1830....

as that is EXACTLY what MK would never do and what attracts him so much as a songwriter to me. Always accurate, detailed and assignable. I agree however that he chose a typical hanging scenery with the big immense crowd and so on, that it's exemplaric and that it is not important when that hanging was and who was hanged etc. It's about the spectacle, the crowd coming to see mutineers...

So MK being so accurate, the mentioning of that exact date 1879 must have another reason. Not that I insist on being right but my found from some days ago about the first recording done in that year still circulates in my mind ...

Sorry Chief, but I'm not convinced MK was thinking about any Historic event in 1879, I'm sure it's purely just to literally fit in with the '1979' date of the chorus of course the first recording is a very good call.....
He's pretty damn accurate with what I found this morning with regards the three Mutineers being switched off.....

Not convinced yet, I went on researching and found that 1879 was a very interesting year ...

William Denny and Brothers launch the world's first transatlantic steamer to be built of mild steel, the SS Buenos Ayrean, at Dumbarton for Liverpool owners. On 1 December she makes her maiden voyage out of Glasgow for South America.[/i]

So as a foundation and acceletator that new possible traffic connection had to do with the transatlantic blues?

There's a link there with an old song from an album released in 1979.  From Single Handed Sailor the Cutty Sark was built in Dumbarton too.  She was built in 1869, 10 years earlier.
