If a ship's crew knew they were under attack by pirates, they might be more willing to surrender without a fight, handing the pirates an intact ship with all its cargo. A Jolly Roger with a red rather than a black background was most feared as it meant no life would be spared in a ship's capture. ..." Oh yeah? Well what if the ship they were attacking to plunder, turned and unfurled a bigger flag than theirs???? |
