Topic: Pandora book


  
  Pitcairn Islands Study Center
Edwards was not a skilled navigator, and the Pandora was wrecked on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef on August 18 with the loss of thirty-one of her own crew and four from the Bounty.
Master’s mate Oliver of the Pandora and his crew in the schooner Resolution were the first Europeans to anchor at and land on a Fijian island (Matuku) and have close contact with the natives (in 1791).
His book, with all its faults of scandalous plain speech, is one that few naval surgeons of that day could have written.

Both Bounty and Pandora encountered serious trouble shortly after sailing: Bounty was storm-struck; 35 of Pandora's crew came down with a lingering malignant fever, the surgeon's only assistant being one of the first to become ill.
