Red Pirate Flag Calico Jack Rackham, With Swords
3 x 5 ft. Standard
The flag of Calico Jack Rackham. Much of Calico Jack’s fame comes from the fact that the two most famous woman pirates, Anne Bonny and Mary Read, sailed under this flag. Calico Jack got his nickname because he wore striped calico pants. Calico is an inexpensive cotton fabric that came from India. One tale of his adventures is this one: Calico Jack and his crew were on board their vessel in a Cuban harbor, making ready to sail. Into the harbor came a Spanish warship, with a small English ship which she had captured. The Spanish attacked, but Rackam’s vessel was close in behind a little Island. The Spanish decided to wait until the morning to continue their assault. Rackam’s situation was desperate. He was outgunned, escape nearly impossible, so a daring scheme was hatched. The captured English ship was close to land, so in the dead of night Calico Jack put his men into a boat, rounded the island and fell upon the sloop without being discovered. Brandishing pistols and cutlasses, they told the Spanish on board that if they made the least noise they were dead men. Rackam then made away and out to sea. The Spanish Man of War was so intent on the pirates the next morning that they made furious fire upon the now empty pirate vessel, only later realizing that the English ship had been stolen away with the pirates on board.

Fort Moultrie Flag Liberty – South Carolina Historic Revolutionary War Flag
Size: 3×5 Feet Sewn Cotton
In 1775, American Colonel Moultrie assumed control of a fort in South Carolina and needed a flag for his troops. His soldiers wore blue uniforms, their caps adorned with silver crescents and emblazoned with the motto “Liberty or Death.” In response, a blue flag featuring a crescent in the upper corner was created. In Moultrie’s own words, “This was the first American flag displayed in the South.”
The following year, in 1776, during the defense of Fort Sullivan against the British, the blue flag was raised but later fell onto the beach outside the fort amid the battle. Sergeant William Jasper bravely leaped over the parapet, ran along the length of the fort, and recovered the flag. He managed to secure it back in place so that it once again flew as the Americans successfully repelled the British assault. In recognition of Colonel Moultrie’s stand against the British, Fort Sullivan was later renamed Moultrie.
