This striking print captures the Burgee of the Pirate Yacht Club in Bridlington, dating back to around 1898. The burgee, made of red wool bunting and machine-sewn linen, features a bold black skull and crossbones design that exudes a sense of adventure and danger.
Originally used as a sledge flag by William Colbeck RNR on Borchgrevink's British Antarctic Expedition from 1898 to 1900, this piece holds a fascinating history tied to exploration and discovery in the icy realms of the South Pole.
