From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Coat of Arms of the Pitcairn Islands were first adopted on November 4, 1969.
[edit] Features
The Arms feature a shield depicting the anchor and Bible from HMS Bounty. This represents the ancestral history of the islanders, most of whom are descended from the sailors who mutinied on the Bounty in 1789. The design of the shield is green and blue representing the island rising from the ocean. The helmet and crest are a flowering slip of miro and a Pitcairn Island wheelbarrow.
