Pitcairn Island: Descendants of the Bounty Mutineers Still Live Here

Around 40 people live on Pitcairn Island, a volcanic rock in the South Pacific with no airport, no harbor, and a supply ship that arrives only a few times a year. Almost all of them descend from the HMS Bounty mutineers who burned their ship in 1790 and vanished from the world. In this video, we uncover: How a mischarted island hid the Bounty mutineers for 18 years Why 8 of the 9 mutineers were dead within a decade Why the entire island was relocated in 1856, and why families sailed back How Pitcairn survives on honey, stamps, and the .pn domain Why the population keeps shrinking, and why some people still return If you enjoy stories from the world's most isolated places, subscribe for more. #pitcairnisland #pitcairn island #documentary #hms #bounty #mutiny #mutiny on the bounty, fletcher christian, most remote island in the world, smallest capital city, adamstown pitcairn, bounty bay, pitkern language, remote island life, south pacific island, john adams pitcairn, last british colony pacific, island with no airport, pitcairn population, bounty descendants, isolated places on earth, island documentary, history documentary Tell us in the comments: how far are you from the nearest coastline? #Pitcairn #PitcairnIsland #HMSBounty #MostRemoteIsland #Mutiny #SouthPacific #History
