Meh, the flag is very very old and very much in the PD :) that upload copy of it isn't simply because someone tagged it that way (it's the default) when they uploaded. For example https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pirate_Flag_of_Jack_Rackham.svg is the exact same flag and came from https://openclipart.org/detail/47605/pirate-jack-rackham :)

I like the "On this day" framing for the Sydney Opera House.
I think our followers would find Calico Jack interesting because of we can credit him with the iconic Jolly Roger flag:
"He is most remembered for two things: the design of his Jolly Roger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolly_Roger flag, a skull with crossed swords, which contributed to the popularization of the design."
Sadly, the flag is not in the public domain: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Jolly_Roger#/media/File:Calico_j...
