Fletcher Christian's Cave, Pitcairn Island
View Original Description
Christian’s Cave, more commonly referred to as the Fletcher Christian’s Cave, is located on a ridge to the west of Adamstown. It's the historic place where seaman Fletcher Christian, leader of the mutiny on HMAS Bounty, was watching ships approaching Pitcairn Island. Although it is now clearly visable from the sea, it was previously hidden by vines and lofty trees which would have afforded him a safe retreat. Christian's Cave is a popular place to visit for tourists coming ashore from cruise ships and for Pitcairners taking a Sabbath afternoon walk.
