| Summary |
What happens when you take a group of fugitive mutineers and their Polynesian companions and place them on a tiny island in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean, far from the authorities, for a couple of hundred years? The only way onto the island is by ship, and sometimes the conditions are so dangerous that travellers are unable to land. This is the story of the 50 descendants of Fletcher Christian and his band of mutineers who set Captain William Bligh adrift from the Bounty in 1789 and then made their way to the isolated refuge of Pitcairn Island. Today, they continue to live the same simple, secluded lives of their forbears, supporting themselves by producing postage stamps and making handicrafts, which they sell to visitors from the ever-dwindling supply of passing ships |
