Pirate flags were used to wage 'Psychological warfare' on their enemies. Pirate flags were designed to threaten, intimidate and spread fear & dread amongst all that encountered the pirate. Pirate flags' history was an important element in building the fearsome reputation of the pirate vessels. Many pirate flags had a red or black background. The flag was often embellished with threatening symbols, such as a skull, bones, skeleton, cutlass and hourglass.
