Pitcairn Islands Outreach! “Celestializing” the H.M.S. Bounty Mutineers! – Bryon Elliot. Wednesday January 8, 2025 starting at 7:30PM. Location: University of Victoria, Bob Wright Centre, Lecture Theatre A104. Who knew “Mutiny on the Bounty” was based on a true story?! Please join me as I tell the tale of my unforgettable adventure on Pitcairn Island, the paradisiacal home of the mutineers’ descendants. I’ll touch on their captivating history, and reveal some of the brilliant celestial wonders I shared with them in their pristine night sky.
