Excerpt: Adamstown, Pitcairn Islands -The town is located on the central-north side of the island of Pitcairn, in front of the Pacific Ocean and close to the Bounty Bay, the only seaport of the island. Adamstown has a population of 48, which constitutes the entire population of the Pitcairn Islands. It is on the only inhabited island in the Pitcairn Group and the only incorporated town in the country, making it the capital by default. The hamlet currently holds the record for being the smallest capital in the world, but it still has access to television, satellite internet, and a new expensive telephone.

A small but fascinating chunk of Pitcairn history
This book was absolutely great!It was written in 1850, and is about things that happened on Pitcairn around the time of the 30's and 40's.Includes copies of letters to the Admiralty from captains who had stopped on the Island.Has the information contained in the Pitcairn's Island Register from 1790 to 1850.Also has a section on the laws of the Island.This book was rather high, but I feel it was well worth the price, to get the piece of history it contains.The author was "marooned" on the island for about 3 weeks when his shipmates left him and a couple others, rather than spend an extra hour to pick them up.(They were going to California--did they REALLY think the extra hour would have killed them???)The author's journal for that time is in the book, as well as the other things that happened to him when he left (that was pretty interesting, also).The author seems a very sincere and kind man, and dearly loved the Pitcairn people. ...
