	HMS Pandora
		During the famous mutiny of HMS Bounty in 1789, captain Bligh and his faithful officers were forced into the ship’s boat.
		Pandora was discovered in 1977, as a large sand mound on the flat seabottom.
		Coming from the cold Nordic waters, it was a true pleasure to work in a water temperature of 28° C (on 30 m depth), and I hope for a successful completion of the project.

	Diving on the Pandora (Australia) article by Martin
		The tale of the Pandora begins in 1789 with a more famous vessel, HMS Bounty, which was on a botanical voyage in the South Pacific when crewmen mutinied and cast adrift their captain, William Bligh, and 18 others.
		Pandora, a 513-ton, 24-gun frigate, set sail from England in 1790, commanded by Edward Edwards, a man whose demeanor was very close to Hollywood's portrayal of Bligh.
		There are no current plans to recover the remains of Pandora, about 30 percent of the original structure, but with enough funds--possibly as much as $60 million--the copper-sheathed hull could be brought to the surface and put on display like the seventeenth-century Swedish warship Vasa or England's sixteenth-century Mary Rose.

		HMS Pandora was a 24-gun frigate of the Royal Navy, built by Adams and Barnard at Deptford, and launched on 17 May 1779.
		On 1791-05-08, the Pandora left Tahiti and subsequently spent three months visiting islands to the west of Tahiti in search of Bounty and the remaining mutineers, without finding any traces of the pirated vessel except flotsam — some spars and a yard.
		Descendants of the 9 mutineers who 'got away' (from the Pandora) still live on Pitcairn Island, the refuge Fletcher Christian found in January 1790 and where the Bounty was burned and scuttled a few weeks later.
