Pirate History (Mini Game)​

Ahoy Pirates!

It be time to delve into the treacherous waters of pirate history and uncover the secrets of the Jolly Roger.

Sharpen yer wits and get ready for a swashbucklin' adventure!

Pirate Puzzler:

Uncover the Legends Piracy is a very old craft that, according to tradition, originated during the first sea voyages.

Over the centuries, many pirates have plied the troubled waters, raiding and pillaging ships carrying rich booty.

To increase the fear caused by the sight of their approaching ships, in the 17th century they began to hang a black flag on the highest mast.

Later, they added various motifs such as a skull and swords, a skeleton piercing the heart, a figure of death with an hourglass or a skull with crossed bones.

These flags came to be known as the Jolly Roger.

Over time, the skull and crossbones flag became established as a symbol of pirate ships.

Now let's test your knowledge of famous and less famous pirates of history.

Time: 25.11 – 27.11

way to easy
so thx for the gift

 

never to easy but thanks & interesting to boot

 

I think the fifth pirate's last name is off one letter (and actually, the first pirate's first name is off in the spelling, "technically speaking"), but I did finally get it. Thanks!

 

Some research for some of these I hadn't heard of. Thanks!

 

TY!
