A small volcanic island, along with the uninhabited islands of Oeno, Henderson, and Ducie, constitute the British Colony of Pitcairn Islands. Located 1350 miles southeast of Tahiti, the islands were discovered in 1767 by a British naval officer, Pitcairn, but not occupied until 1790 when Fletcher Christian and nine mutineers from the British ship, HMS Bounty, along with some Tahitian men and women went ashore, and survived in obscurity until discovered by American whalers in 1808. |
