Sheet showing several textured paper historical flags of Henry Morgan, a renowned English privateer between 1663-1672. Sizes: ensign W12 x L18 mm, mast flags W8 x L12 mm, jack W6 x L9 mm, pennant W4 x L48 mm.

 

Budgee jackHenry Morgan is attested to have flown Red Ensign and Saint George flag as expectable, likely accompanied by the Budgee jack and pennant that would identify him as a privateer.

Otherwise, it is actually doubtful that Henry Morgan ever flew a red Jolly Roger as some modern media suggest, but not so unlikely that he could have used a plain red one instead; for this was widely known by Caribbean buccaneers –and Morgan hired a number of them indeed for some of his campaigns. Anyway, I've thought it colourful to add a red Jolly Roger mast flag to this set, despite the unlikeliness of its eventual usage.
