We were lucky to visit Norfolk Island on the P&O cruise ship the Pacific Jewel on the 16th October 2011; we meet up with Dot Salt and her family, who provided us with the warmest and heartfelt welcome for which Norfolk Island is well known for.
Dot and her family are descendents of the mutiny on the Bounty which was a mutiny that occurred aboard the British Royal Navy ship HMS Bounty on 28 April 1789
The mutiny was led by Fletcher Christian against the commanding officer, William Bligh. According to most accounts, the sailors were attracted to the idyllic life on the Pacific island of Tahiti and repelled by the harsh treatment from their captain.
Eighteen mutineers set Lieutenant Bligh and 18 of the 22 crew loyal to him afloat in a small boat. Mutineers then settled on Pitcairn Island or in Tahiti. The Bounty was subsequently burned off Pitcairn Island to avoid detection and to prevent desertion. Descendants of some of the mutineers and Tahitians still live on Pitcairn Island.
After Bligh and his crew of 18 made an epic and eventful journey in the small boat to Timor in the Dutch East Indies, he returned to England and reported the mutiny, later many of the residents moved from Pitcairn Island to Norfolk Island, Sadly Dot passed away just two weeks after our visit with her and her family, R.I.P. my friend
