What's Unique About Pitcairn Island?

The Pitcairn Islands is not a tourist destination although thye occasional traveller does reach its shores. There is no airport and the only way to reach the island is by sea via a usually rough landing in a small boat - the occasional cruise ship passes by, dropping off researchers or other officials to visit the island. Pitcairn Island is most famous for being home to descendents of English seamen from the Mutiny of the Bounty and their Tahitian lovers and companions. When they arrived at the island in 1790 it was uninhabited and the mutineers set fire to the boat to avoid discovery by the English navy in pursuit of them.
