On the 8th of June, 1856, a group of 194 individuals, all direct descendants of the HMS Bounty mutineers, disembarked at Norfolk Island from the vessel Morayshire, having journeyed from Pitcairn Island. The party comprised 40 males, 47 females, 54 young males, and 53 young females. They set foot on the island amid chilly and blustering weather conditions, a considerable number experiencing the ocean for the first time. Afflicted by seasickness, a longing for home, and profound despondency, their trek spanned 6,000 kilometers (approximately 3,700 miles) and lasted for a duration of five weeks. They were greeted by the desolate remains of a recently vacated penal colony, erstwhile designated for the most hardened criminals, now haunted by the shadows and echoes of the past. It stood as a stark and daunting emblem of the cruelties human beings can inflict upon one another. The narrative of their 1856 odyssey within the bounds of the World Heritage Listed area of Kingston will be unveiled in an untold story.
