Day 46 of our World cruise.  February 18, 2025.

Our position today, off the coast of Pitkairn Island.

Pirkairn Island is just about midway between the Panama Canal and New Zealand.  It is the last and only British territory left in the Pacific.  It is where Fletcher Christian and the rest of the mutineers from the British ship Bounty went after sending Captain Bligh and others away in an open boat after taking over the ship.

Ultimately the Bounty was set ablaze and sunk in what is now known as Bounty Bay.  ( near our anchor position)

During our anchor, several Pitkairn villagers came aboard and created a market where we could buy there goods and souvenirs.

Today was a rainy day so the market was set up in the indoor pool area.

After leaving Pitkairn, we spotted another ship approaching.

Turned out this was the MV Artania.  A small German cruise ship.  Originally built for Princess Cruises in 1984 and named the Royal Princess,  by Princess Dianna, then sold to P & O Cruisees in 2005 and renamed Artemis.  In 2011 a German company purchased it and renamed it to it’s current name.

Today has actually been the first real rainy day.  Forecast is for the same tomorrow and then nice when we get to Tahiti.
