The flag generally associated with pirates in the 17th and 18th centuries is known as the "Jolly Roger." This flag typically features a skull and crossbones, symbolizing danger and death, and was used to intimidate victims. Variations of the Jolly Roger existed, with some pirates incorporating different symbols or colors to represent their individual crews.
