The title Jolly Roger is thought to come from the French phrase "joli rouge" which means "pretty red". The original pirate flags were blood red rather than black and white and this signalled that no mercy would be given once the pirates boarded and battle ensued.

Read More »A new exhibition that sheds light on the little-known cultural history of the Jolly Roger flag will open at The National Museum of the Royal Navy, Portsmouth Historic Dockyard on 6 April 2019. Jolly Roger: A Symbol of Terror and Pride tells the story of the skull and crossbones flag, commonly known as the Jolly Roger, which has been associated with pirates for centuries. The title Jolly Roger is thought to come from the French phrase "joli rouge" which means "pretty red". The original pirate flags were blood red rather than black and white and this signalled that no mercy would be given once the pirates boarded and battle ensued. The skull and cross bones came from the symbol used in ships’ logs, where it represented death onboard. Mythologised in popular fiction and on the screen, a Jolly Roger, when seen on the horizon, would strike fear into the hearts of any sailor. Less well known is its use by the pirates’ adversaries, the Royal Navy, where a tradition of flying the flag from submarines has existed since the First World War. Victoria Ingles, senior curator at The National Museum of the Royal Navy said: “The iconic Jolly Roger has become associated with the representation of pirates as swashbuckling rogues, cool rebels and fun children’s characters but this exhibition exposes the dark side behind these stereotypical images. In reality, pirates commit brutal acts of violence and disrupt trade, which is why the Royal Navy still actively seeks to suppress their activities. Yet, despite fighting piracy, the practice of flying a Jolly Roger has also become tradition within the submarine service in response to a critic who likened them to pirates. These flags are a unique visual record of a boat’s combat activities as well as a striking piece of folk art. Handcrafted, they are as much a symbol of pride and also poignant reminder of the impact of war.” Each action a submarine carried out had its own symbol. These symbols would either be painted or sewn onto a bit of black material. Sometimes material symbols were painted over to make them weather proof. An example of a Jolly Roger with symbols depicting action with an enemy warship; participation in a “cloak and dagger” operation; sinking of an enemy merchant ship and that the boat was used as a navigational marker for an invasion force. The exhibition also seeks to give a wider context to the submarine pirate tradition. An introduction will sketch the history of the Royal Navy and piracy and features a Jolly Roger seized from pirates by the Royal Navy in the 1790s belonging to Admiral Richard Curry who captured the flag during a battle off the North African coast. The display concludes with a look at the modern-day Royal Navy’s continuing efforts to combat piracy. Jolly Roger: A Symbol of Terror and Pride coincides with the opening of Horrible Histories® Pirates, also at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, based on the best-selling series by Terry Deary and illustrator Martin Brown. It is an internationally-acclaimed exhibition that will open for the first time in the UK on 6th April and is set to give fans of all ages an action-packed insight into the mysterious and murky world of pirates across the ages.

Are you looking for Direct Burial Wire? Take a look at our Tracer Wire or USE-2 for more information. Direct Burial rated wire is approved to be run in the earth in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC), usually without the use of conduit to surround it. The combination of the insulation material and its thickness keeps out moisture and other harsh factors to protect the wires inside. As long as it’s got the right insulation, it’ll be just fine in the ground by itself. The most commonly referred to types of Direct Burial wire are USE (Underground Service Entrance) – with a thermoset insulation – Tracer Wire and UF, or “Underground Feeder” – both with thermoplastic insulations. (Note: you might remember some of these terms from our post on wire abbreviations and wire insulation types). Examples of use for Direct Burial wire use are running electricity to your home (USE-2), connecting post lights, locating buried pipes with tracer wire, laying the sprinklers along golf courses (next time you’re playing a game, remember there are sometimes 1,000,000’ of wire running underneath you!), and, if you get fancy in the back yard, hooking up your propane grill to a propane tank in the garage! Usually, Direct Burial wire should be buried at least 18′ underground, but check with the local enforcement officer (usually the electrical inspector) before laying anything down. Oh, and as always, make sure the power is shut off to anything electrical before working with electrical equipment , devices, or wiring! If you need Direct Burial wire, you can call us or send in a quote on the form to the right!
