Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom | A.C. Crispin

Bonus post: a DVD scavenger hunt game. Can't say I've played it.

In a sense, the POTC logos show a version of a #JollyRogers, at least the At Worlds End logo depicts a #SkullAndCrossedBones.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom | A.C. Crispin

"Hoist the colors!"

This is in reference to the #JollyRogers, the trademark of a pirate. It signaled and warned enemy ships of their untimely death and what they could expect from the pirates, no mercy. Originally, red in color, as seen on the playing cards, and got its name from the French word rouge, meaning red.

Cpt Jack Sparrow's flag shows his bandana and piece of eight and a little grey sparrow.

Jolly Roger | Patrick Pringle

Thank goodness for Goodreads. I wouldn't be able to find books for these challenges on my own shelves. This one might be interesting.
