jskyrm Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 My name is James Skyrm, history tells me of a pirate of the same name who sailed with bartholomew roberts after doing some research I have found storys and retellings of the capture and execution of the pirate skyrm and after even more family research I have found I am indeed of relation to the captain...The only thing I cannot find anything of was the flag that Captain James Skyrm (also spelled Skyrme) sailed under. I have searched various locations on the web and this seemed like a good place to locate some info. I fanyone can maybe post an image of the flag or offer a destination I can locate the flag at it would be grately appreciated. Thank you.
