Such
banners are called baucans and the people of England call them
streamers, these banners mean death beyond remedy and mortal war
wherever place those sailors are.
Some
pirates or privateers used plain flags with a generally understood
color symbolism - black for death, or red (the bloody flag of
no quarter) for battle. However other colors were used as well,
in 1717 an English ship was attacked to the west of Madeira by
a French pirate
[ with
Death's head in black in ye middle of the white Ensign' ]
Some more indivdualistic
or flamboyant pirate's of the 18th century added various symbols
of death to their flags, for which the term "Jolly Roger",
"Old Roger" or "Jolie Rouge" come into use.
