Few symbols in maritime history are as instantly recognizable as Blackbeard’s flag. Attributed to the infamous pirate Edward Teach, the flag depicted a horned skeleton holding a spear aimed at a bleeding heart — a clear warning to any vessel in his path. Whether Blackbeard actually flew this exact design remains a matter of historical debate, but the image has endured for centuries as one of the most iconic Jolly Rogers ever to sail the Atlantic.
