English: Pirate flag at the Åland Maritime Museum, one of two pirate flags that are considered authentic. The flag is about 200 years old and came to Åland from the North African Mediterranean coast, where piracy occurred right into the 19th century. It is made of cotton and was once dark brown. Now it is faded by the ravages of time, weather and wind.
Svenska: Sjörövarflagga hos Ålands sjöfartsmuseum, en av två sjörövarflaggor som anses äkta. Flaggan är cirka 200 år gammal och kom till Åland från den nordafrikanska Medelhavskusten, där sjöröveri förekom ända in på 1800-talet. Den är tillverkad i bomull och en gång i tiden var den mörkbrun. Nu är den blekt av tidens tand, väder och vind.
