Jolly Roger - The True Origin of Pirate Flags
What flags did pirates truly use? What did the black and red banners mean? And how many original flags have survived to this day? In this video, I will explore the real origins of pirate flags, their symbolism, historical sources, and the stories behind the most famous banners of the Golden Age of Piracy. Note: The narration is synthesized to maintain consistent audio quality and match the documentary style — however, I manually adjust the intonation and rhythm to keep it natural and engaging.
