Built this SHIP last night using some advanced building techniques, but I'm not sure what the right term for this type of hull design is. It has a lot in common with a Cog, but the curve on the prow is the wrong shape - wondering if anyone can help me figure out a more accurate classification. It's definitely a merchant vessel as the primary cargo is animals.

Advanced Rigging Technique: Use fences for sails and pinch a firehose between them

Advanced SNOT Technique: Balance a plate on a bear's nose as the ship's wheel

Truly a masterpiece of our own time, no one could achieve what ye have - building the most realistic 18th century vessel out of LEGO. I must say, ye have accomplished it all. Congratulations! 

 

On a side note, I do like the idea of building a vessel out of casual Duplo bricks (or are they blocks?). This one achieves creative aspect of such an idea. Well done!
