3         Date:  27 June 2000
From: Dr M. Stuart Lavender
Searching for:   Information concerning Alexander Arbuthnot, died 29 August 1791

        I am interested in the genealogy of members of the crew of the HMS Pandora which sank on the Great Barrier Reef in 1791. This vessel was sent out by the admiralty in an effort to bring the mutineers of HMS Bounty to justice. Alexander Arbuthnot was one of 31 crew members that lost his life in the wreck of the Pandora. Little is known of his personal details other than that he was one of the Sailmakers Crew and probably held no rank. He is likely to have been in his twenties.
        The Queensland Museum has been retrieving artefacts from the wreck site over the last 15 years and much of this material is now on display at the Museum of Tropical Queensland in Townsville, Australia. Skeletal remains from 3 individuals has also been found and DNA analysis has been performed on some of this material. It is conceivable that these individuals may be able to be identified from DNA matching with their decendants. I am told that this will involve tracing a female lineage.
        The first step would be to try to identify where this particular member of the Arbuthnot family fits in. I know the details are scant but I wonder if you can help. Further details of this man's age and origins may possibly be found in the naval muster lists which are held in Kew but this avenue as yet remains unexplored.

Are you aware of the possibility that one of 3 sets of human skeletal remains recovered from the wreck of HMS Pandora (1791) may be the remains of one Alexander Arbuthnott, a sailmaker's mate who died when the Pandora was wrecked on the Great Barrier Reef in 1791. I refer you to the 'Who was Harry?' section of the museum's website.  I look forward to hearing any outcomes you may achieve in 'pinpointing' the Pandora's Arbuthnott. If he is Scotland-born it would seem there are 3 likely candidates": one born 1769 in Benholm; the other born in Montrose in 1770. The third is an Alexander A. born in Kirkbraehead in 1753.
There are other Scotland-born Alex.A's  -eg. b. 1742 in Longside Aberdeen - but I'd rule them out on the grounds of age given that "Harry"'s age has been determined as approx 30 +/- 2 years
Sincerely     Peter Gesner
