Thursday, September 3, 2015
During the 18th century, a pirate named Christopher Moody explored the coast of South Caroline. Although there were a lot of information about him, he was eventually caught and hanged. His pirate flag, however, continues to be seen every now and then in old photos and books. It featured the gold and red tones. From left to right, the flag had a gold hourglass and black wings. It meant that the enemy’s time was over. There was also a white arm and hand holding a dagger. There was a traditional skull over the crossbones. The flag also had a red background that stood for blood. Moody and his crew had lethal plans.
There used to be a French pirate known as Emanuel Wynn. Many believed that he was the first pirate to showcase the Jolly Roger banner. However, there was no real proof. The flag featured a skull over crossbones and there was an hourglass beneath it.

The Black Bart banner is one flown by Bartholomew Roberts. It featured a pirate standing on top of a heap of skulls. The letters “AMH” and “ABH” were written under the image, which stood for “A Martiniquan’s Head” or “A Barbadian’s Head”.
A lot of people have become fond of studying the lives of pirates in the past. Some of the known pirates were real, while others were mere myths. Today, there have also been different items and events influenced by pirate culture, such as games, movies, Halloween attires and cloths. Even professional teams are sometimes named after pirates. Pirate flags have become less intimidating at present, and even children have learned how to make their own.
