Flag of the Pitcairn Islands
The flag of the Pitcairn Islands was adopted on April 2, 1984. The coat of arms of the Pitcairn Islands were first adopted on November 4, 1969.
Features[edit]
It is a Blue Ensign, with the Union Flag in the canton and the coat of arms of the Pitcairn Islands in the fly.
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.
Flag of Governor[edit]
