The Jolly Roger
The name "Jolly Roger" is thought to have
originated from a nickname for the devil, "Old
Roger". However, it is more likely to have come
from the French word for "pretty red", "Jolie
Rouge . The red flag meant no mercy.

Edward Teach Black beard He was named
"Blackbeard", for his large black beard that
almost covered his entire face. To strike terror
in the hearts of his enemies Blackbeard would

battle. Edward Teach was an unusually large man,
carrying two swords, numerous knives, and
pistols- he was feared by his own crew.

Sea-Feverby John MasefieldI must go down to
the seas again, to the lonely sea and the
sky,And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to
steer her by,And the wheel's kick and the wind's
song and the white sail's shaking,And a grey
mist on the sea's face and a grey dawn
breaking.I must down to the seas again, for the
call of the running tideIs a wild call and a
clear call that may not be deniedAnd all I ask
is a windy day with the white clouds flying,And
the flung spray and the blown spume, and the
sea-gulls crying.I must down to the seas again
to the vagrant gypsy life.To the gull's way and
the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted
knifeAnd all I ask is a merry yarn from a
laughing fellow-rover,And quiet sleep and a
sweet dream when the long trick's over.
