Flag of Pitcairn Islands

🎨 What the flag means

The Pitcairn Islands flag is blue with the Union Jack and the islands' coat of arms. On the shield, blue, yellow and green show Pitcairn rising from the Pacific Ocean, and an anchor and a Bible recall the ship HMS Bounty. On top are a wheelbarrow and a branch of the miro tree, showing how farming and woodcarving have helped islanders live.
