The island where mutineers from the HMS Bounty settled is Pitcairn Island. In 1789, after the famous mutiny against Captain William Bligh, a group of mutineers, along with some Tahitian companions, sought refuge on this remote island in the South Pacific. Pitcairn Island is known for its rugged terrain and small population, which has descended from the original mutineers and their families. Today, it remains a remote and unique community with a rich history linked to the Bounty's legacy.
They settled on Pitcairn island.
The mutineers from the HMS Bounty settled on Pitcairn Island in 1790. After the mutiny led by Fletcher Christian against Captain William Bligh, they sought a remote location to avoid British authorities. The group, along with some Tahitian companions, established a community on the island, which remains inhabited by their descendants today.
The inhabitants of Pitcairn Island are descended from the mutineers of the Bounty.However, this is not strictly correct, as most of the mutineers did not survive. After taking the HMS Bounty back to Tahiti, they collected 6 Polynesian men and 12 women. They sailed on to Pitcairn Island, arriving there in January 1790. They burnt the ship, and established a colony on Pitcairn Island. In 1808, an American sealing ship landed at Pitcairn Island, and discovered that most of the mutineers had been killed by disease, suicide or been victims of murder. Of all the mutineers, both European and Polynesian, only one survived - a man by the name of John Adams. Adams was a changed man after his conversion to Christianity, and he went on to become the respected leader on Pitcairn Island.
