The sentence "break your girls in at 12" is so disgusting and horrifying

I appreciate the increasing use/attribution of non-AI historical images, thank you!!

Kiwi here, the vast majority of us were absolutely furious with the sentences handed down to those vicious monsters. It was insulting to the victims, some of whom had suffered so badly they literally had to leave the country to be safe. They ran away to New Zealand and Australia and I don't blame them a bit.

Bligh, on the other hand guided his small boat over a major chuck of ocean to work his way home: one hell of a seaman!

That is the most chilling non-apology I have ever heard.

Modified Dead Internet Hypothesis: The entire internet is actually just Simon Whistler making different kinds of content.

Mutineers divided up the Island equally among them, but disaster struck when one of their wives died, it then became Lord Of The Flies

I have lived in a number of remote, small communities in Australia and can confirm violence and crime are very common and intimidating victims is the norm 😑

I lived on a farm in NZ back in the '60's - one of the shepherds was Finn Christian from Pitcairn. He eventually became a stunt man in Hollywood spawning a family of little stunt boys and girls. I've seen many movies with their name in the credits...

It's also been mentioned in some historical accounts of the mutiny that the Tahitian women were kidnapped and did not go voluntarily. Possibly the Tahitian men were meant to be slaves from the beginning.

... bloody hell, Colleen. no wonder her house on Norfolk Island was so far outside of town

This society was based on Medieval customs.
The age of consent in England since 1275 to 1875 was 12 . It was raised to 13 in 1875.
It was raised again to 16 in 1885.

pitcairn island sounds like epstein's island with a longer flight

Remarkable how much drama a small group of inhabitants can cause.

Is nobody gonna talk about the fact that a real human named Thursday October Christian was a real person who lived? Like someone decided to name their child that.

4:28 As an American hearing the phrase "which is about the same as two Californias" was hilarious to me

That took a turn...

Basically a sort of lord of the flies situation, things descended into its most naturally primal, but sans any long standing cohesive local spiritualism connected to the land itself.

A friend of mine, Dea Birkett wrote a book about this sad story, "Serpent in Paradise."
