We Anchored off Pitcairn Island - in the Middle of the Pacific Ocean!

Located halfway between New Zealand and the country of Panama, Pitcairn Island is a beautiful place. This was probably one reason why Fletcher Christian and his band of mutineers and Tahitian wives chose to live here in 1790, and their descendants live on! Today there are only about 50 permanent residents, our 500+ passengers would have overwhelmed the island, so many of the islanders visited us on our ship, the Crystal Symphony. I bought quite a few souvenirs and interviewed some interesting people. That's me with a 7th generation descendant of Fletcher Christian. He's such a nice guy!

MAP OF THE PITCAIRN ISLANDS

The Pitcairn Islands , officially the Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie and Oeno Islands, is a group of four volcanic islands in the southern Pacific Ocean that form the sole British Overseas Territory in the Pacific Ocean. The four islands—Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie and Oeno—are scattered across several hundred miles of ocean and have a combined land area of about 18 square miles (47 km2). Henderson Island accounts for 86% of the land area, but only Pitcairn Island is inhabited. The islands nearest to the Pitcairn Islands are Mangareva (of French Polynesia) at 688 km to the west and Easter Island at 1,929 km to the east.

The Pitcairn Islanders are a biracial ethnic group descended mostly from nine Bounty mutineers and a handful of Tahitian consorts—as is still apparent from the surnames of many of the islanders. The mutiny and its aftermath have been the subject of many books and films. As of January 2020, the territory had only 47 permanent inhabitants. Cuisine is not very developed because of Pitcairn's tiny population. The most traditional meal is pota, mash from palm leaves and coconut. Domestic tropical plants are abundantly used. These include basil, breadfruit, sugar cane, coconut, bananas and beans. Meat courses consist mainly of fish and beef. Given that most of the population's ancestry is from the UK, the cuisine is influenced by British cuisine; for example, the meat pie.

The cuisine of Norfolk Island is very similar to that of the Pitcairn Islands, as Norfolk Islanders trace their origins to Pitcairn. The local cuisine is a blend of British cuisine and Tahitian cuisine.

Recipes from Norfolk Island of Pitcairn origin include mudda (green banana dumplings) and kumara pilhi. The island's cuisine also includes foods not found on Pitcairn, such as chopped salads and fruit pies.

Tourism.
Tourism plays a major role on Pitcairn. Tourism is the focus for building the economy. It focuses on small groups coming by charter vessel and staying at home stays. About ten times a year, passengers from expedition-type cruise ships come ashore for a day, weather permitting. As of 2019, the government has been operating the MV Silver Supporter as the island's only dedicated passenger/cargo vessel, providing adventure tourism holidays to Pitcairn every week. Tourists stay with local families and experience the island's culture while contributing to the local economy. Providing accommodation is a growing source of revenue, and some families have invested in private self-contained units adjacent to their homes for tourists to rent.

Entry requirements for short stays, up to 14 days, which do not require a visa, and for longer stays, that do require prior clearance, are explained in official documents. All persons under 16 years of age require prior clearance before landing, irrespective of the length of stay.
Postage stamps and postal history of the Pitcairn Islands

Stamp of the Pitcairn Islands.
The government holds a monopoly over any article of whatsoever nature made, manufactured, prepared for sale or produced by any of the inhabitants of Pitcairn Island. The flow of funds from these revenue sources are from customer to the government to the Pitcairners. The Pitcairners are involved in creating crafts and curios (made out of wood from Henderson). Typical woodcarvings include sharks, fish, whales, dolphins, turtles, vases, birds, walking sticks, book boxes, and models of the Bounty. Miro (Thespesia populnea), a dark and durable wood, is preferred for carving. Islanders also produce tapa cloth and painted Hattie leaves.

The major sources of revenue have been the sale of coins and postage stamps to collectors, .pn domain names, and the sale of handicrafts to passing ships, most of which are on the United Kingdom to New Zealand route via the Panama Canal. The Pitcairn Islands issued their first stamp in 1940. These became very popular with stamp collectors, and their sale became the dominant source of revenue for the community. Profits went into a general fund which enabled the island to be mostly self-sufficient. This fund was used to meet the regular needs of the community, and pay wages. Funds in excess of regular expenses were used to build a school and hire a teacher from New Zealand, the first professional teacher hired on the island. The fund was also used to subsidise imports and travel to New Zealand. At later points, the sale of coins and .pn domain names also contributed to the fund. Towards the end of the 20th century, as writing letters became less common and stamp collecting became less popular, revenue for the fund declined. In 2004, the island went bankrupt, with the British government subsequently providing 90%.
Diesel generators provide the island with electricity from 7 am to 10 pm. A wind power plant was planned to be installed to help reduce the high cost of power generation. #pitcairn #pitcairnislands #pitcairnisland #mapschool #mapsolo #mapas #maps

About Sailors for Sustainability

We are Floris & Ivar, two sailors from the Netherlands ????????. We are on a sailing trip around the world in search of solutions to today’s sustainability challenges. It means that we look for examples in the fields of buildings, climate, community, economy, ecosystems, energy, nutrition, spirituality, and transportion that show that there are more sustainable or future-proof ways of doing things. By documenting proven solutions we strive to inspire people, companies and governments to change their habits and accelerate positive change.

After looking deeper into crises such as climate breakdown, biodiversity loss, pollution, inequality, and human rights abuses, it became clear to us that fundamental change is necessary for humanity to survive. We made it our mission to highlight solutions that bring an ecologically sound and socially just society closer. Solutions that people can relate to and implement in their own lives.

What excites us most is that we meet all these positive, passionate, inspiring people who are proving that a sustainable way of doing things is possible. It makes us hopeful for the future.

Floris was trained as a lawyer ????‍???? and Ivar as an industrial engineer ????‍♂️. We both had busy jobs but felt something was missing. We wanted to be more ecologically and socially engaged, experience different cultures, and see our planet's beautiful natural world.

Ivar was living on a sailboat and always had a dream of sailing around the world. It seemed natural to combine the two, even more so because sailing is such a sustainable way to travel. Traveling slowly on wind energy is quite a carbon neutral way to get around.

After many, many years of working on the boat, we finally left Amsterdam in 2016. Yet we left behind more than our hometown and family and friends. We also left behind jobs and the income and security that come with them. In return, we got adventure and the unknown! We didn’t know exactly where we would go, who we would meet, how the sailing would go, and if our project would be successful.

So far, our route has taken us half-way around the world ????. We've documented over 50 sustainable solutions, and visited over 25 countries. They are like pieces of a large, complex jigsaw puzzle. As we collect more pieces, the contours of an ecologically sound and socially just society become better visible. Yet the puzzle is far from finished. We will continue our search for inspiring sustainable initiatives. There is still plenty to discover!

Around the World Pacific Journeys Part 1 - Santiago to Pitcairn

Visiting Pitcairn Island : The HMS Bounty Mutiny Island

Subscribe to :

Nestled in the vast expanse of the South Pacific Ocean, Pitcairn Island stands as a remote and intriguing destination, known not only for its breathtaking natural beauty but also for its historical significance as the refuge of the HMS Bounty mutineers. This isolated gem, part of the British Overseas Territory of Pitcairn, beckons adventurous travelers seeking a unique blend of tropical paradise and maritime lore.

Access to Pitcairn is a journey in itself, as the island lacks an airport, making it reachable only by sea. Visitors typically embark on a multi-day voyage from New Zealand or Tahiti, sailing across the open ocean to reach this speck of land surrounded by azure waters. As the island emerges on the horizon, the rugged cliffs and lush greenery create an awe-inspiring first impression.

Upon landing, visitors are greeted by the warmth of the island's small community, which primarily descends from the Bounty mutineers and their Tahitian companions. The charming settlement of Adamstown is the sole inhabited area, with its rustic houses and flowering gardens adding to the island's allure. The island's small size and close-knit population foster a welcoming atmosphere, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the local culture.

History comes alive on Pitcairn as one explores the remnants of the Bounty, which still lie scattered across the island. The ship's anchor, cannons, and other artifacts serve as poignant reminders of the infamous mutiny that took place in 1789. Guided tours provide insight into the events that unfolded, offering a vivid narrative of the mutineers' decision to seek refuge on this remote outpost.

Nature enthusiasts will find themselves captivated by Pitcairn's untouched landscapes. Hiking trails lead to panoramic viewpoints, revealing the island's dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and vibrant flora. The endemic flora and fauna, including unique bird species, showcase the island's ecological diversity. Snorkeling and diving opportunities abound, allowing visitors to explore the pristine underwater world surrounding Pitcairn.

As the day draws to a close, visitors can savor the island's tranquility and relish a sunset over Bounty Bay. Nights on Pitcairn are a stargazer's delight, far from the light pollution of urban areas, offering a mesmerizing view of the Southern Hemisphere's celestial wonders.

Visiting Pitcairn Island is not just a journey to a remote paradise; it is a pilgrimage to a historical haven where the echoes of the HMS Bounty mutiny still resonate. The island's natural beauty, coupled with its rich maritime legacy, ensures an unforgettable experience for those intrepid enough to make the voyage to this isolated gem in the vastness of the South Pacific.

Pitcairn Islands Travel

The Pitcairn Islands (/ˈpɪtkɛərn/;[6] Pitkern: Pitkern Ailen) or officially Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie and Oeno Islands,[7][8][9][10] are a group of four volcanic islands in the southern Pacific Ocean that form the last British Overseas Territory in the Pacific. The four islands – Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie, and Oeno – are spread over several hundred miles of ocean and have a total land area of about 47 square kilometres (18 sq mi). Only Pitcairn, the second-largest island that measures about 3.6 kilometres (2.2 mi) from east to west, is inhabited.

The islands are inhabited mostly by descendants of the Bounty mutineers and the Tahitians (or Polynesians) who accompanied them, an event retold in numerous books and films. This history is still apparent in the surnames of many of the islanders. With only about 50 permanent inhabitants, originating from four main families,[3] Pitcairn is the least populous national jurisdiction in the world.[11] The United Nations Committee on Decolonization includes the Pitcairn Islands on the United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories.[12]

On 28. ap­ril 1789 some men took over the ship Bounty on its way from Tahiti . Captain Blight had to leave the ship with 18 men , Fletcher Chris­ti­an was the new captain on Bounty and sailed to Pitcairne where they started a colony , but it was ka­dett Georg Stewart that started the Mutiny .
Fletcher and 4 other was killed by their Tahitian slaves only after 4 years. It was all a catastrophe .

Later it has been a pedophilian scandal and it is only living 60 people there . A Norwegian writher , Kari Boye and her familie is among them.

One day every year is the sun in Zenit on winter solstice.
