The sign hangs from the wall of the pub. It has what appears to be a Caribbean island background with blue sky, blue sea and an island with palm trees. The main features of the sign is a wooden mast with rope rigging. Flying from the mast, in a moderate breeze, is a flag showing the skull and crossbones. The name of the pub runs along the top of the sign and "Free House" along the lower edge of the sign. Both are in gold lettering. A signature, near the bottom right corner, appears as R J Vinney.
