Yes Elizabeth . . .
There was a Bounty and there was a mutiny.

It’s a crazy place this island, I was just reading a book about it. The movies are all fantasy, and not about the life on the island.

Pitcairn Island - a place I would never want to take children if they were girls.

For an excellent read on this subject, I would suggest Jack London’s The Seed of McCoy.

“...without the men, “you might as well pick Pitcairn up and throw it away, because no one is going to survive”.”

Sounds like a possible place to go ex-pat to, considering how things are going here. A far away island in need of a larger population.

Pitcairn Island is named for Robert Pitcairn, a 15-year-old midshipman who was the first person to spot the island. Robert Pitcairn's father Major John Pitcairn commanded the British troops at the battle of Lexington on April 19, 1775, and was killed in the battle of Bunker Hill in June 1775.

There had been a Polynesian population on the island earlier but it was uninhabited when rediscovered by the British.

Hey, the Brits are looking for emigrants to the island, ‘coz the natives are dying out!

RIP VR6TC! It was indeed a pleasure knowing you. Still have the awesome handmade basket he sent after a bunch of us sent him gasoline many years ago.
