Fork it over:

If a ship hoisted black colors, you knew they were pirates. It was a flag able to strike fear into anyone. Most pirates just used a black flag with a skull and bones, or a plain black flag. The color alone was enough to signal their true intentions. Some pirates designed their own flags. Pirate Captain Bartholomew Roberts has TWELVE flags attributed to him. But did he really design all of those flags himself? In this video we'll be taking a look at all of the flags attributed to Bartholomew Roberts, their meaning, and their plausibility.
