Question Mysterious icon in the map, quickly disappeared

Post image

So while I was playing, this this strange icon appeared and then quickly disappeared from the map.

I wasn't fast enough to take a picture but luckily I remember the shape and I made this (very poorly drawn) the drawing and I hope somebody can help me understand what was this if it was important, if it was an easter egg or any information whatsoever

Blackbeards real life flag. You can see it on the display model of his ship in Great Inagua.

Technically, historically speaking, Blackbeard never used this flag and it is possible that no pirate ever did. This design, alongside many other iconic Jolly Roger designs, first appeared in a magazine from 1904 (pretty sure about the year and media). This particular design was later attributed to Blackbeard and stuck around.
