Cotton Jolly Roger With
Eye
Patch Historical Flag
 The "original" skull-and-crossed-bones was credited to a French buccaneer, Bartholomew Roberts, in the mid 1600s. Various other emblems, such as crossed cutlasses, were used by later pirates. Pirates hanged at Newport, Rhode Island in 1723 called their flag 'Old Roger', an early 18th century nickname for the Devil. In thieves slang, rogues were called "rogers". Bartholomew Roberts was nicknamed "Le Jolie Rouge", and in English this was used to refer to the flag, not the man. Another origin may have been that the Jolly Roger was a corruption of Jolie Rougere,
a red pennant flown by French buccaneers to show no quarter would be
taken. In many parts of the Caribbean, the "Jolly Roger" was the
equivalent of a happy face: it meant the pirate ship was willing to take
prisoners.
Flag is
made of cotton with double sewn seams and has two reinforced brass grommets for
hanging from a flag pole.
