Today In History (@historigins): “These are the only two genuine pirate flags known to be in existence.” 656K views, 35.5K likes. Two faded Jolly Rogers — one red, one dark — the real survivors.
Gorgocutie’s Take
Every pirate movie you’ve ever watched lied. Jack Sparrow’s flag? Fake. One Piece? Anime lies. Two flags. That’s it. The rest burned, rotted, or got turned into cleaning rags by a bored British navy clerk in 1724. One looks like it was last washed in 1680 and never again. Peak historical preservation.
