The fate of the nine European men, twelve Polynesian women and six Polynesian men who ultimately found that home on isolated Pitcairn and became self castaways by burning the "Bounty" is comparatively unknown. The unique multiracial, multicultural experiment failed. They fought over the women, they quarreled over the land, they attacked each other murderously. In the end, one European was left alive with all the women and children.
