New patch uploaded soon:  Blackbeard's Flag Patch. 

Yes, this is the actual design for Blackbeard's flag - back in the day, if anyone saw this flag flying on a boat, they would run the other way terrified because bad things were coming!  if you saw the flag, it was probably already too late for you!  

Cemeteries and Graveyards were often the inspiration for the morbid imagery such as skulls and skeletons used on pirate flags ;A heart pierced with a sword or knife symbolized a merciless death. A spear or dart showed a violent death. A heart leaking drops of blood showed a drawn out and torturous death. An empty fist or cutlass in hand spoke of a swift death. Maybe you can see the theme of death here.

Blackbeard. Edward Teach or Edward Thatch (c. 1680 – 22 November 1718), better known as Blackbeard, was a notorious English pirate who operated around the West Indies and the eastern coast of the American colonies. Although little is known about his early life, he was probably born in Bristol, England.
