Over two centuries later, the colony on Pitcairn is still thriving with a current population of about
fifty descendants of the Bounty’s crew and passengers. Reliant on subsistent fishing and farming,
the islanders grow sugarcane, yams, and citrus, among other edibles. Tourists come and go,
exploring locations of interest like the museum in Adamstown, St. Paul’s Pool, or the lagoon in the
Ducie Island atoll. On top of that, the Pitcairn islanders are prolific beekeepers and artisans, selling honey, propolis products, carved wood, jewelry, among other trinkets, and curios that are sure to sell.
Pitcairn’s vibrant culture and history have made the little island in the Pacific known not just as
the smallest dependent territory in the world, but a little pocket of nature for all to enjoy. So, if
you find yourself overcome with an intense bout of wanderlust or ennui, a trip to Pitcairn might be
the cure.
