What is on a pirate flag?
A pirate flag, also known as a Jolly Roger, typically consists of a white skull and crossbones symbol on a black background. The skull represents death, while the crossbones symbolize danger or warning. The flag was used by pirates to intimidate their enemies and signify their identity as outlaws of the sea.
What is the term for the black flag with skulls and crossbones?
If you mean of pirate lore, it is known as the Jolly Rodger.While a pirate crew would fly the black flag to intimidate a potential ship it intended to attack, it was not the only flag used. A crew would first fly the skull and crossbones on a black background so the other ship would be intimidated, if the other ship didn't surrender the crew would lower the black flag and raise a red flag with a skull and cross bones or whatever symbol the ships crew used as a Jolly Rodger. The red flag showed the crew the time for surrender was over and now everyone on the ship would be killed. Pirates did not take prisoners nor did they spare those people that didn't surrender the first offer.
Could the Tradition of flying the skull and crossbones or Jolly Roger be related to he way Blackbeard was killed with his head hanging from the mast?
No. The tradition came from Calico Jack's flag, which was called the Jolly Roger with the traditional skull and crossbones, but the name went on to represent all flags, regardless of what they actually portrayed on them.
