Treasure Island What is the significance of the black dot in Treasure Island? Asked by bookragstutor on 28 Nov 08:47 Last updated by anonymous on 28 Dec 22:25
If you were a pirate and received the black spot (literally a piece of paper with a black spot on it was pressed into your hand) it meant that you had been judged by your pirate brethren, found guilty and were due for execution.
