Classic Pirate Flag - Skull and Crossbones Symbol | Historical & Cultural Icon #3711123 (License: Personal Use)

This stylized illustration depicts the quintessential Jolly Roger-a black flag emblazoned with a white skull and crossed bones, mounted on a simple wooden pole. The design is intentionally bold and high-contrast for maximum visibility at sea, historically used by pirates like Edward Teach (Blackbeard) and Calico Jack Rackham. Its imagery evolved from earlier maritime warning symbols into a universal emblem of rebellion, danger, and adventure.
