The Mendi Bible is a Bible presented to John Quincy Adams in 1841 by a group of freed Mendi captives who had mutinied on the schooner La Amistad.
Although the Team is originally from Mendi in the Southern Highlands of Papua New Guinea, the team is currently based in Lae due to the current franchise owners.
In the 1990s the centre was owned by Fordgate Wandsworth Limited, owned by Fordgate (a large property company who at the time owned similar developments including the Pallasades centre in Birmingham), and ultimately by property investors Moises and Mendi Gertner.
The 4230-gross-ton (GRT) passenger ship SS Mendi was ferrying the mostly-Pondo 5th Battalion, SA Native Labour Corps (SANLC) from Britain to France when the steamer collided with the 11,000 GRT liner SS Darro during the early hours of February 21, 1917.
