== == == == The Jolly Roger was the pirate ship captained by James Hook in the 1904 children's classic novel, Peter Pan. In actual history, no. The Jolly Roger is the name for the pirate flag. Seems strange, but the buccaneers followed the international protocol of showing their "national ensign" when engaging in battle. Pirates used red on their flag's to indicate bloodshed, sometimes with skeletons and hourglasses as well. These flags were called Jolie Rouge (Pretty red one) by French pirates. In later days, when the skull and crossbones flags came into style they were referred to with the same name. A solid black or red flag was probably the most common, but many different designs were used. Some other people believe that Jolly Roger comes from the nickname given to the very successful pirate, who seized over 400 ships, Bartholomew Roberts, which was also "Le Jolie Rouge" == ==

What is the reason why it was introduce crown colony?
The Bahamas was in a state of ruins because of the pirates and the ineffective Proprietary Governors. This became a great concern for English merchants who were losing fortunes to pirates. To stop this the Crown had to regain control of The Bahamas. The Crown purchased the islands from the Proprietors and set up their own form of government to try and stop the pirates. The form of government set up by the Crown was called Crown Colony Government. In 1718 the Crown sent their first Royal Governor to The Bahamas Captain Woodes Rogers.
