Bounty Day

Bounty Day is a holiday on both Pitcairn Island, destination of the HMS Bounty mutineers, and on Norfolk Island. It is celebrated on January 23 on Pitcairn, and on June 8 on Norfolk Island, the day that the descendants of the mutineers arrived on the island. It is named for the Bounty, although the ship never saw Norfolk Island.

Famous quotes containing the words bounty and/or day:

    My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
    My love as deep. The more I give to thee
    The more I have, for both are infinite.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    O! let me clip ye
    In arms as sound as when I wooed, in heart
    As merry as when our nuptial day was done
    And tapers burnt to bedward!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
