About Jolly Roger

The Jolly Roger was the ensign flown by a pirate ship preceding or during an attack, during the early 18th century. The vast majority of such flags flew the motif of a human skull, or "Death's Head", often accompanied by other elements, on a black field, sometimes called the "Death's Head flag" or just the "black flag".
