Pitcairn's Island - sketched from H.M.S. "Amphitheatre", 1856. Visit to an island in the Pacific Ocean inhabited by descendants of the Bounty mutineers. The islanders came off in a whale-boat, and seemed glad to see us...We took a cow and several other useful presents to the islanders. They now number between, 180 and 190, and talk about removing to Norfolk Island this year: but I think the greater proportion will remain at Pitcairn's, being much attached to it. It is, however, impossible they can all remain there much longer, it being only five miles in circumference, and a great deal of the island is too mountainous to cultivate. They live principally on yams and sweet potatoes; which they till with great success, theirs being the finest I have seen in the Pacific'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
