Description

Photo of a gravestone in Marblehead's Old Burial Hill, one of the oldest in New England. The iconic "Skull and Crossbones" used to indicate poison or as used by Pirates comes from gravestones exactly like this one from the 1600s. The "Skull and Crossbones" meant, quite simply, Death.

That was a popular decoration for headstones during the 1600s correct?
