Skull And Crossbones Pirate Flag
The Jolly Roger is the name now given to flags employed by pirates in the 17th-18th century to identify a ship as pirate vessel. The most popularised Jolly Roger today is the Skull and Crossbones, being a flag consisting of a skull above two long bones set in an x-mark arrangement on a black field. This design was initially used by pirate captain Edward England. Historically, the flag was flown to induce pirates' victims to surrender readily.
