An illustration of a 17th century wooden A pirate ship as viewed from directly above, looking directly down from "bird's eye view". The composition is entirely symmetrical. The bow of the 17th century pirate ship is pointed directly up toward to the top of the frame. The ship is cutting swiftly through the water forming row after row of symmetrical "V" shaped waves of whitecaps around it, as the sails billow with a heavy downwind gust from below. A black jolly roger with white skull and crossbones waves from the topmost tip of the mast. The ocean is turbulent, as they're sailing with hurricane force at their back, a massive downwind gust propelling the ship forward at terrible speed.
