Background Information Sheet the JOLLY ROGER
ACTIVITY 1D: JOLLY ROGER — Background Information Sheet THE JOLLY ROGER The “Jolly Roger,” also known as “Black Jack” or “The Banner of Death,” was invented by Caribbean pirates around 1700. Its intended purpose was to frighten their intended victim into surrendering. Until then, pirates flew whatever country’s flag would get them the closest to their prey. By the 1720s, the black flag with its white symbols was common with the pirates of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Every pirate crew had a unique flag. The human skull, or “death’s head,” was a common theme, but others symbols on the “Jolly Roger” meant death, violence, and limited time. When a pirate ship spotted its intended victim, a typical scenario went like this. First, the pirate ship would fly the flag of a non-threatening country until they were close enough to bombard their prey; this was known as flying “false colors.” Next, they would raise the Jolly Roger. This flag was intended to frighten the victim and also give them a chance to surrender. If this offer was refused, the pirates would raise a red flag, symbolizing blood, which meant “no quarter” — death to all. The skull and crossbones was a common European symbol of death. It was carved into gravestones of the 17th century. Pirates capitalized on this symbol, but other symbols were used. For example, Edward (Blackbeard) Teach had a white skeleton holding a spear pointed to a red heart. Bartholomew (Black Bart) Roberts’ flag por- trayed a human body with a cutlass standing on two skulls.

Make a Pirate Flag Layout 1
BLACKBEARD& the Queen Anne’s Revenge EDWARD TEACH, also known as BLACKBEARD, was one of the most feared pirates to sail the seven seas. He even looked scary! Teach was tall, with a bushy, black beard. People say he placed burning ropes under his hat and let the wisps of smoke curl around his face to terrify his ene- mies. From 1716 to 1718 Blackbeard attacked ships along the Atlantic coast. He often hid out among North Carolina’s barrier islands, where his ships could easily outrun the heavier vessels that pursued them. In 1718 Blackbeard’s lagship, QUEEN ANNE’S RE- VENGE, ran aground at Beaufort Inlet. His sloop, ADVEN- your ow te flag!

Leaving the Mm:J.In to Ply About Lundy, for Securing Trade
Rep. Lundy Field Soc. 4 7 IN THE SHADOW OF THE BLACK ENSIGN: LUNDY'S PART IN PIRACY By C.G. HARFIELD Flat 4, 23 Upperton Gardens, Eastboume, BN21 2AA Pirates! The word simultaneously conjures images of fear, violence and brutality with evocations of adventure on the high seas, swashbuckling heroes and quests for buried treasure. Furthermore, the combination of pirates and islands excites romantic fascination (Cordingly 1995, 162-6), perhaps founded upon the popular and sanitised anti-heroes of literature such as Long John Silver and Captain Hook (Mitchell discusses how literature has romanticised piracy, 1976, 7-10). This paper aims to discover, as far as possible, the part Lundy had to play in piracy in British waters, and to place that in perspective. The nature of the sources for piracy around Lundy will be discussed elsewhere (Harfield, forthcoming); here the story those sources tell is presented. It is not a story of deep-water pirates who traversed the oceans in search of bullion ships, but rather an illustration of the nature of coastal piracy with the bulk of the evidence coming from the Tudor and Stuart periods. LUNDY AS A LANDMARK IN THE EVIDENCE The majority of references to Lundy and pirates mention the island only as a landmark (Harfield, forthcoming). Royal Navy ships are regularly recorded plying the waters between the Scilly Isles, Lundy and the southern coasts of Wales and Ireland (see fig. I) with the intention of clearing these waters of pirates, both British and foreign. For instance, Captain John Donner encountered English pirates ':fifteen miles distant from Lundy Isle" in April 155 7 (7.3.1568, CSP(D)).

When We Now Think of a Pirate's Flag We Think Of
Pirates with Ely Museum Pirate Flags When we now think of a pirate's flag we think of the "Skull and Cross Bones", however many pirates had their own unique designs that in their day would have been well known and would strike fear in the crew of a merchant ship if they saw it. To start with, many pirate ships did not have flags with designs on, instead they used different colour flags to say different things. A plain black flag had been used in the past to show a ship had plague on it and to stay away, so pirates started flying this to cause fear. However it also usually meant that the pirate would accept surrender and spare lives. Others used plain red flags, which dated back to English privateers who used it to show they were not Royal Navy, in pirate use this flag meant no surrender was accepted and no mercy would be shown! Over time pirates started adding their own designs to these plain coloured flags, these unique flags would soon become well known as the pirates reputation increased. Favourite things for pirates to have on their flags were skull, bones or sometimes whole skeletons, all meaning death and aiming to cause fear. They also often used images of swords, daggers and other weapons to show that they were ready to fight. An hourglass would mean that your time is running out as death was coming and a heart was used to show life and death. Jolly Roger Flag A flag would often be made up of one or more of those items and would sometimes include the Captain's initials or a simple outline of a figure depicting the Captain.

Piratical Colonization: Piracy's Role in the First
PIRATICAL COLONIZATION: PIRACY’S ROLE IN THE FIRST ENGLISH COLONIES, 1550-1600 by Austin F. Croom March, 2019 Director of Thesis: Wade G. Dudley Major Department: History This thesis analyzes the importance of piracy to the beginnings of English overseas expansion. This study will consider the piratical climate around the British Isles in the sixteenth century, and the ways in which this context affected the participants in the first English colonial projects. Piracy became inseparably associated with nearly all of the Elizabethan overseas expeditions, contributing experienced seamen to the cause and promising to fill gaps in the financial strength of the expeditions. Ultimately, piracy proved difficult to control, and sabotaged the efforts of the Elizabethan colonial promoters.

Spring 2006 Queen's Report Winter 2006 with the Latest on Site Protection
Update from the Queen Anne's Revenge Shipwreck Project Volume 6, Number 1 Spring 2006 Queen's Report Winter 2006 with the latest on site protection Director's Report A major initiative designed to help protect the QAR shipwreck site is taking place this winter as a cooperative agreement with the US Army Corps of Engineers - Wilmington District. It involves placement of a sand berm seaward of the site as a potential means to reduce wave energy and provide a source for sand replenishment during storm events. The driving force behind this action has been the observed scouring and loss of protective sands on top and around the shipwreck. We reported storms of last fall, principally Ophelia, created major scouring on the south side of the main mound. More disturbing, however was a dive taken in mid-February, which found the wooden stock of the north anchor completely exposed, a feature that has always been buried in the past. Most recently a sonar survey conducted and processed by Chris Freeman of GeoDynamics Inc. as a contribution to the QAR project, provided much greater detail and showed that the site is currently lying exposed in a trough between two near shore sand ridges. Given the fact that even if we had the resources to begin full scale recovery today it would take months needed for startup purposes and then several years to accomplish. At best this will leave the site threatened, especially by storm currents during the upcoming hurricane season. Facing these realities, it was fortuitous that a dredging project was scheduled at Bulkhead Channel (near Beaufort) this winter, in which the US Army Corps of Engineers had the opportunity to use their shallow draft hopper dredge Currituck.
