The Pitcairn islanders reported it was not until 27 December 1795 that the first ship since the Bounty was seen from the island, but it did not approach the land and they could not make out the nationality.
Localnicii au afirmat că abia la 27 decembrie 1795 a fost văzut de pe insulă primul vas după Bounty, dar el nu s-a apropiat de pământ, deci nu au putut vedea cărei țări aparținea.
