# From this live journal entry:

http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/10/26/22339/937 - slightly misleading. New Zealand only got involved at the request of the British Government. Pitcairn is not NZ, and we realise that. But we're physically closer and the UK Government asked us to help provide logistics and the ilk. We were not imposing NZ law on them - merely assisting the UK Government. As for is the UK Government the government of Pitcairn? That's the question.

# Lagoon5 comments on the reaction to their Jones report on Pitcairn. It apparently caused quite a stir. Any comment on incidents involving rape and sexual assault tends to produce quite strong comments from both sides.

# A blog entry discussing the sentences given to the convicted men. The author of the entry considers the sentences to be too light for the crimes they were convicted of.

# Norfolk Island Pictures. There is also a section on pictures of Christian descendants.

# The Philadelphian on the Bounty. Another take on the Bounty mutiny with pictures.

# HMS Bounty model. Pictures of a model of the HMS Bounty.

# A discussion on the Bounty mutiny in a webforum has some interesting stuff.
