L'incredibile storia dell'Isola Pitcairn (serie destini improbabili)

Tutti conosceranno la vera storia della fregata Bounty e del suo ammutinamento in Polinesia. Avvenuto nel 1789 perchè il capitano dava la poca acqua dolce disponibile a delle piantine di albero del pane, che stavano trasportando, piuttosto che agli uomini. Pochi, invece, credo, sappiano che i nove ammutinati, insieme a 6 uomini e 12 donne tahitiani, finirono nell'allora sconosciuta Pitcairn Island; of 3.2 to 1.6 km.

Even less know that the descendants of these people are still there. Are 48, owners of a semi-independent state. There is no 'airport and there comes a ship twice a month and not every month. The first inhabited earth (a little) and an airport is a 32 hour sail. They live on agriculture, the pension of those who worked in New Zealand, the sale of sites in the domain. Pn, their stamps collectors, wicker baskets that they sell to some yachts passing by. But as many as 8 families have a web Sitin from where they sell honey, t-shirts and hats of Pitcairn.

The town of Pitcairn

They have their own language, created by the mixture between English sailor of 1700 and Tahitian. Retain the surnames of the mutineers. On the island there is a bar that opens on Friday from 18h30 until they go away customers. A baker making bread on the order or the second Thursday of each month. A takeaway restaurant opened on Wednesday. There are 5 rooms to accommodate up to 9 guests at $ 70 per day including meals and laundry. There are primarily scholars a studiare chissà che. 



Non manca un Governo, capeggiato da un Mayor, una costituzione fresca fresca, un visto di ingresso a 30 dollari, una tassa sullo sbarco di 35 dollari a persona, un centro di salute con un medico neozelandese e, ovviamente, una scuola elementare, una posta, l'uffico del Governo e l'elettricità.  Ma non c'e' la banca o il bancomat. In questo momento il sito ufficiale del Governo informa che non ci sono posti di lavoro liberi a Pitcairn.



Esiste invece un giornale mensile di 6 pagine che potete leggere online also provide you with the modest sum of $ 15 per year. The newspaper account gives you the arrivals, departures and birthdays. After reading a few issues you'll be home in Pitcairn.

I was a bit shocked to human stubbornness of wanting to live Crow, but they beat all!
