Jacob Nion Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) Previously: The Lady Arlene New Allegiance Welcome To The Crew When the smoke of a thousand cannons began to thin out and the painful voices of a thousand souls fell silent, the Queen Annetta’s Revenge was no more. What events did lead to her end was commonly known; a ricochet from an unknown vessel destroyed the ship’s rudder, spelling doom for her crew. Unable to elude getting clasped by the Purple Reign’s and the Miger’ys broadside, she soon began to sink to the ground with the rear ahead. The Death Of Captain Morgan by Jacob Nion, auf Flickr The end of her captain however arose to an unfailing source of spectacular tales. A surviving sailor of the Migery swore he had seen Morgan getting hit by a loose gun, pushing him over board. How did Captain Morgan die? by Jacob Nion, auf Flickr A Mardieran fisherman instead was profoundly convinced he had seen the dreaded pirate in the foremast’s shrouds, when an unbearable reek of pestilence and rotten corpses filled the bay, and the Kraken itself reached out to pull the captain into the deep. How did Captain Morgan die? by Jacob Nion, auf Flickr A popular tale in the taverns of Isla de Victoria stated Poseidon himself(or optional Hades, depending on the story teller) stretched his hand out of the ocean and pulled the whole ship down into his realm, where he would imprison this reckless sailor, who composed himself to rule over the seas. Others again claimed that the water god would marry off one of his daughters to this bold mortal, and mermaids would come and adorn his ship with gems and golden shells and they would live in it as their palace until the end of all days. How did Captain Morgan die? by Jacob Nion, auf Flickr Many, many more tales were told in the brick seas. More sceptical fellows assumed the captain had simply died during the battle, while others, with a penchant for superstition opposed that if this mischievous man in fact had died, his restless soul surely would roam the waters in a ghost ship, scarring any crew unfortunate enough to cross his way. And some even claimed to have seen Morgan up and about in a variety of Mardieran ports, where he attained honours and was most likely plotting his revenge. Or optionally he was suspected to join with King Fernando, attempting to re-establish his reign. Dead or alive, it remained a mystery. Whatever stories where told, nobody could answer the question: what happened to Captain Benjamin Morgan? Edited June 28, 2017 by Jacob Nion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legostone Posted June 27, 2017 Ohh, finally you post this! I think you had this up on flickr for a while now, I'm certainly looking forward to whatever happens next! I set my bet on Hades and that we'll be seeing a ghostship from you very soon! We'll gladly sink another ship of yours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxim I Posted June 27, 2017 As said on Flickr: daamned :p I spent a small fortune to assemble your sig fig, now I can't use it anymore... Amazing way to depict the different stories! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Genaro Posted June 27, 2017 Nooo, don't tell me this is the end of Captain Morgan's tale. Oh well, I'm sure tales of his exploits will continue to be told even after he is gone. About the build, it's really good. I love the pin rack and belaying pin design, and the brick built figurehead is particularly nice, too. My favorite part has to be Poseidon's watery fingers preparing to grab Captain Morgan. Great parts usage, and great positioning of the minifig. Plus, it was really fun to see how you portrayed the different stories in each picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Professor Thaum Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) This built is wonderful !! The sinking ship is a masterpiece ! the story is in the same vein... the start of the legend ! Edited June 29, 2017 by Professor Thaum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Wolf Posted June 27, 2017 I will believe Captain Morgan is dead when I see his corpse. Until then, he lives forever in the Brick Seas. Wonderful stories and builds to tell the tale. I love how the sea seems so real with the sinking ship and tentacle coming from below! And where does the Poseidon/Hades hand come from? It is all worthy of the minfig who was larger than life!

All those details are from the original Queen Annetta's Revenge. That was the most challenging part; to reconstruct the bow and forecastle. The ship itself was disassembled for a while, so I had to look into my pictures. The only thing different is the sprit topmast. I added it to give the build more structure. And I liked the idea that Morgan had refitted his ship over time to increase its speed. On 6/27/2017 at 4:46 PM, Professor Thaum said: This built is wonderful !!
