Pirates play a very important part in the history of Nassau and the Pirates of Nassau Museum, using dioramas, a few artifacts and interactive signage, clears up a few myths. One is that the jolly roger skull and cross bone was the flag of all pirates, whereas each ship had it's own flag. Pirate ships voted for their captains and rules, being generally more democratic, leisurely and profitable than royal or commercial ships, facts that caused many to join the life of plunder. They also provided compensation to the high proportion of pirates injured in combat. Pirates who transgressed ship rules were marooned, being made "governors of their own island".
