Nukapu Expedition
The Nukapu Expedition occurred between October 1871 and February 1872 and was a British punitive operation in response to the murder of Bishop John Coleridge Patteson by the natives of Nukapu. A Royal Navy warship was sent to the island and it sank a group of hostile war-canoes and landed men to attack a fortified village.

In October 1871, the screw sloop-of-war HMS ''Rosario'' was operating against South Seas blackbirders when her captain, Acting-Commander Albert Hastings Markham received orders to sail for Nukapu in the Solomon Islands. A contemporary newspaper described the events thus:
Markham published an account of the cruise under the title ''The cruise of the ''Rosario'' amongst the New Hebrides and Santa Cruz Islands, exposing the recent atrocities connected with the kidnapping of natives in the South Seas.'' The measures taken by ''Rosario'' became the subject of questions in the House of Commons,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hansard, 11 March 1872 )〕 and Markham's book〔 on the subject may well have been prompted by them. The book itself makes clear that Markham clearly understood the cycle of violence and deplored both the murderous activities of the Blackbirders, and the apparent need for further violence in restoring order.〔
