On the High Seas has come to mean a certain lawlessness and freedom. Black flags appear, complete with the device of skull and crossbones.

The Pirates of Penarth
A Play by Hilda Isaacs
In a hostelry near Cogan Pill, some men, mostly sailors, are drinking and dicing. It is ten o'clock on a stormy evening in September, 1577. The men are discussing the notorious pirate, Captain Clark, of the Black Devil.
