The flag of Pitcairn features a blue field with a Union Jack in the canton and the Pitcairn coat of arms on the fly side. The coat of arms depicts a yellow shield with a green diagonal band, representing the island's isolation and connection to nature. Above the shield is a golden anchor symbolizing the Bounty's arrival, and below it are the words "Pitcairn Island." The blue background represents the surrounding ocean, emphasizing Pitcairn's maritime heritage and its remote location in the South Pacific.
