Pitcairn Island
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.
John Adams was one of the mutineers from the HMS Bounty, which famously revolted against Captain William Bligh in 1789. After the mutiny, Adams and other crew members settled on Pitcairn Island, where they established a new community. Over time, Adams became a leader and helped to maintain peace and order among the settlers. He eventually became a devout Christian and, later in life, was known for his efforts to educate the island's inhabitants.
HMS Bounty was created on 1787-08-16.
Pitcairn Island is a British Overseas Territory, which means it is owned and administered by the United Kingdom. It is located in the southern Pacific Ocean and is known for its small population, descended primarily from the mutineers of the HMS Bounty and their Tahitian companions. The territory includes several smaller islands, but Pitcairn is the only inhabited one.

The HMS Pandora was a British Royal Navy ship that met with calamity in 1791 while on a mission to capture the mutineers of the HMS Bounty. After successfully locating some of the mutineers on Tahiti, the Pandora was shipwrecked on the Great Barrier Reef while attempting to return to England. The ship struck the reef and sank, resulting in the loss of 31 crew members and stranding the survivors on nearby islands until they were rescued.

Water. Lots and LOTS of water. If you go 940 miles to the northeast, you would reach Easter Island, home of the gigantic "moai" statues. If you go 970 miles to the northwest, you would reach Pitcairn Island, home to the descendants of the mutineers from the HMS Bounty.
Mutiny on the Bounty - novel - was created in 1932.
