| Aanvullende informatie |
HMS Pandora was dispatched in 1790 specifically to hunt down the Bounty mutineers, and her captain Edward Edwards proved so brutal in his treatment of captured men — confining them in a makeshift cage on deck dubbed "Pandora's Box" — that he was later court-martialled, though ultimately acquitted. The ship never made it home: she struck a reef on the Great Barrier Reef in August 1791, killing 31 crew and four of the prisoners still locked in the cage.
Tokelau's connection to the Bounty story runs through Pitcairn and broader Polynesian maritime history rather than any direct landfall by Pandora herself.
