Only somewhat irrelevantly, I recently read "The Pyrates" by George MacDonald Faser, which was a lot of fun and had Calico Jack Rackham as the only sane character. I was delighted when I found his flag linked from Wiki...
The article implied that these flag designs are pretty much exactly as they appeared at that time, though of course I have no way of knowing for sure. It looks so clean-lined I have to wonder if it was touched up more modernly. I want to convert it to a blue-and-pink-overlapping-to-lilac bisexual pirate flag, but I'm suck at GIMP. ;)
