A visitor from an island settled by descendents of the Bounty mutineers says she wants to find out how the Isle of Man would have sounded hundreds of years ago.
Jodi Williams from Norfolk Island is investigating the audio heritage of her homeland, which saw a permanent civilian population established there in the 1850s by people from Pitcairn, where Manxman Fletcher Christian and his fellow mutineers had settled in 1790.
Jodi’s been given a research scholarship to visit the Isle of Man and record as many of the sounds, songs and stories as she can.
She says it’s an interesting project which will inform her fellow islanders about their history:
