Nukapu Island 1994

Governor General, the late Sir George Lepping Tour of Temotu Province 1994 Nukapu is a Polynesian outlier in the Reef Island group. Its call to fame is that on 20 September 1871, John Patteson first Bishop of Melanesia was killed on the island, where he had landed alone. At the time, it was thought that he was killed as revenge for the abduction of five men by illegal blackbirders a few days before, who had also killed one man.
