DescriptionThe Scull and Crossbones of St. Nicholas Church, Deptford. - geograph.org.uk - 508228.jpg
English: The Scull and Crossbones of St. Nicholas Church, Deptford. This church it is a short walk down to ship building yards and the Thames. The sailors would come here to pray before embarking on a new voyage. Some of their voyages were to plunder from any ship they find on the high seas. Since they could not fly the flag on their nationality they chose to fly the Scull and Crossbones flag of St. Nicholas, that way other Deptford ships would not attack them.
