![[Blackbeard's flag]](../images/p/pir_bbea.gif) by António Martins, 29 October 1998
by António Martins, 29 October 1998
A horned skeleton with an hourglass in the right hand and a spear in the left pointed to a heart with three blots.
Blackbeard is known to have flown the "deaths head"; Johnson's History
of the Pirates shows his ship flying the skull and crossbones only. All
other flags attributed to Blackbeard are fictional.
