Pitcairn Islands Introduction
Pitcairn Islands Introduction Top of Page Background: Pitcairn Island was discovered in 1767 by the British and settled in 1790 by the Bounty mutineers and their Tahitian companions. Pitcairn was the first Pacific island to become a British colony (in 1838) and today remains the last vestige of that empire in the South Pacific. Outmigration, primarily to New Zealand, has thinned the population from a peak of 233 in 1937 to about 50 today. 1UpTravel's Guide to Pitcairn Islands Geography of Pitcairn Islands - Highlights the location, map references, area, land boundaries, climate, natural resources, land use, natural hazards, environment, and geography of Pitcairn Islands

Utopia Britannica - British Utopian Experiments 1325 - 1945 Mutiny in Utopia Gazetter entry
'Such a society, so free, not only from vice, but even from those petty bickerings and jealousies - those minor infirmities which we are accustomed to suppose are ingrained in human nature - can probably not be paralleled elsewhere. It is the realisation of Arcadia, or what we had been accustomed to suppose had existence only in poetic imagination, - the golden age; all living as one family, a commonwealth of brothers and sisters, which, indeed, by ties of relationship they actually are . . . there is neither wealth nor want, a primitive simplicity of life and manner, perfect equality in rank and station, and perfect content.' W.Brodie. Pitcairn's Island. "....by the free votes of every native born on the island, male or female, who shall have attained the age of eighteen years, ....". He was to be assisted by two councillors, one elected and one appointed by himself. Not only was this the first time female suffrage was written into a British constitution, but it also incorporated compulsory schooling for the first time in any British legislation. These were political rights not enjoyed by other British citizens until well into the 20th century.

WELCOME TO PITCAIRN ISLAND
Welcome to Pitcairn Island, home of the descendents of several of the mutineers from the British ship HMS Bounty. Pitcairn Island, which is located in the South Pacific about 2170 km from Tahiti, is one of the most isolated places on earth. It is also one of the most fascinating, due to its heritage as home to the children of mutineers who settled on the island to avoid capture.
The Pitcairn Island Mystique
The Early Settlement of Pitcairn Island
On April 28, 1789, Fletcher Christian, Master's Mate of the British ship HMS Bounty, led a revolt against the Bounty's acting captain, Lieutenant William Bligh. The Bounty was returning from a mission to collect breadfruit plants from Tahiti, for use as a potential food source on New World plantations. Various reasons for the mutiny have been cited and discussed, among them the legendary tyranny of "Captain" Bligh, and the desire of some crew members to return to Tahiti. For some of the crew, particularly the able seamen, Tahiti seemed a paradise, where the men were treated like nobility in the midst of plenty. Other factors include the cramped conditions on the Bounty once the breadfruit plants were stowed, and the absence of Royal Marines to guard the arms chest and quell any rebellions. During the mutiny, Bligh and 18 other crew members were set adrift in an open boat, with one week's provisions and a few simple navigation instruments. Remarkably, Bligh sailed the small, crowded boat through 3,500 miles of open sea to the Dutch colony of Timor in the East Indies. Twelve of the original 19 men that the mutineers cast adrift survived the ordeal and ultimately arrived safely in England.

http://www.pitcairners.org/
Welcome to Norfolk Island's Home on the Web Norfolk Island is but a speck on the surrounding two million empty square miles of seascape. In the South Pacific Ocean, this three by five mile volcanic outcrop is a subtropical paradise - but a paradise which has known inhuman brutality. Discovered by Captain James Cook, it was claimed by him for Great Britain and named in honour of the Duchess of Norfolk. Cook's crew were struck by the island's rugged beauty and the abundance of flax and pine. Cook sailed on, and the island was to remain uninhabited for a further 14 years. Since then the island has seen two penal settlements come and go, the second of which was the most brutal ever established by Britain. In 1856 the island received those who call it home to this day - the Pitcairners, descendants of the Bounty Mutineers. During the intervening 140 years these people have nurtured the island to make it a prosperous, tranquil and beautiful place. Thousands of people from all over the world now come to experience the history, beauty and unique Pitcairn culture that make Norfolk Island a paradise on Earth. However, paradise is threatened...

Time Line Norfolk Island is rich in History and Culture from Captain Cook's discovery in 1774 to todays modern times. 3,000,000 years ago Norfolk Island formed from lava erupting from unknown event. The island has been reduced to about 1/3 of its original size by erosion and weathering since then. Between A.D. 1000-1400 In this period, at lease one Eastern Polynesian group arrived on Norfolk Island, probably from the Cook or Society Islands or North Island of New Zealand. Between A.D. 1400-1774 Possibly another Polynesian group arrived, most likely from the South Island of New Zealand. Bananas were established in the present-day Kingston area by one of the first or second groups. Portuguese Cristovao de Mendonca probably first European to sight Australia.

Turning Point for Historic Adventist Community on Pitcairn Island
May 29, 2001 Adamstown, Pitcairn Island .... [SPD Staff/ANN] The Seventh-day Adventist Church on Pitcairn Island was officially restructured as a "company" May 19, in recognition of declining church attendance in what was once known as an entirely "Adventist culture."
This island has a significant place in Adventist history, says Ray Coombe, assistant to the Adventist Church president in the South Pacific. "For more than 110 years, Adventists around the world have treasured the Pitcairn story," he explains. "Missionary expansion of the Adventist Church in the Pacific was indeed led by the sailing of the 'Pitcairn' mission ship in 1890, and the image of an all-Adventist population tucked away in an isolated Pacific paradise has prevailed ever since."
Residents of the island are descended from the notorious "Bounty" mutineers who set Captain William Bligh adrift in 1789 and then settled on a number of South Pacific islands. Since the late 1800s, Pitcairn residents have been known internationally for their devout Christianity and their adherence to a wholistic Adventist lifestyle.

Ancient Navigation
by Liesl Clark
How did the first inhabitants of Easter Island arrive? It is the most remote inhabited island on Earth. The coast of Chile lies 2,300 miles to the east, Tahiti 2,500 miles to the northwest, and the nearest island, with a total population of 54 people, is tiny Pitcairn island, 1,400 miles to the west. The answer lies in the deeply-rooted traditions of Polynesian culture.
The people of the Pacific are intimately tied to the ocean. They sailed the sea hundreds of years before Europeans, using voyaging canoes crafted from island materials and stone tools. The Polynesians approached the open ocean with respect; indeed, the ocean was integrated naturally into Polynesian culture, as they came from small islands surrounded by vast ocean expanses. No other culture embraced the open sea so fully.
For the continental Europeans, on the other hand, the ocean was looked upon as a menacing world that only the bravest explorers ventured upon for long periods of time. And even these explorers felt at odds with the ocean upon which they traveled. One of Magellan's chroniclers described "a sea so vast the human mind can scarcely grasp it." To a Polynesian islander, the world is primarily aquatic, since the Pacific ocean covers more area than land in this region. The Pacific, in fact, covers one third of the Earth's surface.
In island culture, the double canoe and its navigator were integral to the survival of the people. As an island became overpopulated, navigators were sent out to sail uncharted seas to find undiscovered islands. For weeks, they would live aboard boats made from wood and lashings of braided fiber. Thousands of miles were traversed, without the aid of sextants or compasses. The ancient Polynesians navigated their canoes by the stars and other signs that came from the ocean and sky. Navigation was a precise science, a learned art that was passed on verbally from one navigator to another for countless generations.

The Pitcairn Island Government
Pitcairn Island, the smallest British protectorate in the world, is governed from the United Kingdom by an appointed Governor whose offices are in Wellington, New Zealand. A Commissioner for the island who handles most on-going, practical matters for Pitcairn is located in Auckland, New Zealand. According to the government-published Guide to Pitcairn Pitcairn Island is held by the United Kingdom to have come under the jurisdiction of the British High Commission for the Western Pacific in 1898, and in 1952 the Pitcairn Island Order in Council transferred the responsibility for administration to the person of the Governor of Fiji, following separation of the offices of Governor and High Commissioner. When Fiji gained independence in 1971 the administration was transferred to Auckland within the jurisdiction of the British High Commissioner to New Zealand who conjointly holds office as Governor of Pitcairn. -Herbert Ford, Pitcairn Islands Study Center

Informative yet impartial starting from the origins of the crew, telling the story of the mutiny without being too sentimental and finally charting the legacy of Fletcher Christian. One of the best books I've read in years and which is bound to grip the reader and transport them to Pitcairn. Serpent in Paradise Published in Hardcover by Anchor (September, 1997) Author: Dea Birkett Average review score: Narcissism and Travel Writing This woman should stay at home! A flawed writer investigates a society in its death throes Dea Birkett became obsessed with Pitcairn Island, populated with 37 descendants of the 'Mutiny on the Bounty.' It has neither phones, nor a landing strip, nor even a harbor, so just getting there was a tale of perseverance in itself. Birkett thought she was going to a tropical paradise, but after three months, she began to fear for her physical safety. As other reviewers have pointed out, Birkett is, to put it mildly, a severely flawed person. She lied to get a visitor's permit, although her charade was so transparent, it's hard to believe she fooled anyone on Pitcairn. More serious was her habit of habitually lying and the conflict this created with Irma, her host/employer/landlady. Yet unfathomably, Birkett tells the truth about having sex with the island's sole policeman, a married man. Does she not care how this will affect his family when her book is published? Birkett is clueless about how badly she comes across to the reader.
