Centuries Later – The Jolly Roger Flag

The Jolly Roger Flag, is the popular flag that symbolizes a pirate ship. Pirates were beggars, or former slaves, and privateers that transformed to a existence of crime when the War of Spanish Succession in 1714 finished. No longer showing the king’s flag, the pirates created their very own flags. The Jolly Roger’s visual appeal consisted of wide range of symbols considered to be employed by pirates which resided during the 17th through 18th century. A skull and crossbones is usually portrayed, but generally there are quite a few versions including those with swords, a full skeleton, and blood. The flag’s backdrop is usually black, but occasionally red. Many historians state solely the black flags were genuine “Jolly Rogers”.
