Great US "Corps of Engineers US Army" survey mark from 1967

It's easy to get here. The best way is from Tahiti with the Aranui 5 ship. There are also options from New Zealand with a cargo ship. from the port you must go up to the small viewpoint on the left, from where you can also see the shadow of the burned Bounty. At least that is what is said. In any case, the ship is said to have been sunk there at the port back then.
