Flag Pirate (Jolly Rogers)

The Jolly Roger flag

The Jolly Roger is an emblematic flag of piracy, known for its black background adorned with a white skull and two crossed bones. Used mainly in the 17th and 18th centuries, it was used to intimidate the crews of merchant ships into surrendering without resistance. Various pirates had personalised versions of the Jolly Roger, sometimes incorporating swords, hearts or hourglasses to represent specific threats.

The origin of the name 'Jolly Roger' remains uncertain, but it may derive from the term 'pretty red', referring to the red flags used by some pirates to signify that no mercy would be shown. This symbol is deeply rooted in popular culture, appearing in numerous books, films and other media. The Jolly Roger has thus become a universal symbol of rebellion, adventure and freedom of the seas.
