The Jolly Roger is a flag with a skull and crossbones that was traditionally flown on a pirate ship, although many pirates would just fly a plain black flag.
The reason pirates wanted people to know they were pirates was just to frighten the crew of other ships into giving up without a fight.
The Jolly Roger in the picture is being flown along with some other modern flags.
