Meaning of the Flag

Pitcairn Islands is a British Overseas Territory in the southern Pacific Ocean. Consisting of a set of four volcanic islands scattered across several hundred kilometers, three of the four islands are uninhabited. The shield is surrounded by a green and gold wreath, and crested by a helmet bearing a wheelbarrow and a slip of milo, a local tree, which represent the role agriculture played in helping the mutineers survive on the island.
