INTRODUCTION Come on board and bring along All your hopes and dreams Together we will find everything That we’re looking for... Airing for the first time back in 1999 One Piece has become one of the most well-known anime series of all time. The story of Monkey D. Luffy and his quest to become King of the Pirates has captured the hearts and imaginations of multiple generations. One Piece follows a formula well known to anime series of the 90s. A young adult (or kid) through passion and determination gets stronger, beats the bad guys and gets closer to his goal. Something that sets One Piece apart from other anime is it's constantly optimistic tone and extremely wacky and colorful characters. It doesn't shy away from dealing with some deeper subjects like government overreach or corrupt leadership. But the attitude throughout the series is that the good guys are going to triumph over evil even when facing impossible odds. I started watching the anime show in English back in 2019 and after 6 years I'm almost 1000 episodes in. There are currently 1145 episodes so I'm still catching up. In 2023 Netflix aired a live-action version of the anime and gave Lego the perfect chance to partner with them and go sailing into the One Piece world. I watched the Netflix version and enjoyed it, but it lacks the same charm of the animated show. So will Lego One Piece be everything we're looking for? Let's find out! SET INFORMATION Number: 75639 Title: The Going Merry Pirate Ship Theme: One Piece Released: 2025 Part Count: 1376 Box Dimensions: 47.6 x 37.3 x 8.8 cm Weight: 1927g Set Price (RRP): £119.99/$139.99/€129.99 Price per Part: 8.7p/10.2c/9.4c Links: Brickset, Bricklink THE BOX AND WHAT'S INSIDE The front of the box shows off the Straw Hat crew's ship, the Going Merry, the Netflix logo for the show and Inaki Godoy who plays the live action Luffy. The back of the box shows the various compartments of the ship, the working canon and the fact that 4 Wanted Posters are included. These posters are similar to the Chocolate Frog Cards from the Harry Potter sets. There are 8 in total with this first wave of sets and the distribution is random in each set. In addition to the 10 numbered bags we get a few of the flexible parts packaged separately as well as a sticker sheet. The sails and the pirate flags are all the thicker plastic material that you have to punch out. I forgot to take a picture of those sheets before removing the parts. It was an interesting choice for Lego to go with plastic instead of fabric, but I think the end result works well. THE BUILD Five years ago the techniques used in this set would have been mind-blowing. Instead of using pre-fab hull pieces the Going Merry uses a brick and plate frame with a lot of SNOT to get the curved hull shape. Other angles are achieved using clips and bars to hold sub-assemblies at crazy angles. By today's standards it's a pretty normal build, but I was still impressed with all the techniques and really enjoyed building the ship. A lot of the smaller details rely on stickers which is unfortunate. I had a really hard time getting them straight and as a result the cabinets in the kitchen look like they were hung crooked. In the kitchen there is a couch with room for 2 to sit or 1 to lounge. The counters are high for a minifigure with the pan being almost eye level with Sanji. There are a lot of details like the jumper plates used for drawers and the rail plates used to add a lip to the counter. But I think it would have worked better if one of the details had been sacrificed in order to get the counter to a better height. The whole ship plays around with scale to get the best of both a display model and a play model. For the most part it does this extremely well, but this is one area with room for improvement. The kitchen is covered by a clever combination of sections to create the stern of the ship. First the section with the mast slides into place. It sets in place using a modified plate resting inside a window element. The white, modified plate shows how this works. Because the window element is more panel than full window frame, the bar can rest between the bricks and the slight downward offset of the bars allows it to slide just under the top lip of the window panel. The resulting "connection" is an amazing use of Lego geometry. The section with the tangerine trees folds closed and slides into the rails under the mast. They also lock under the brown "arms" meaning the mast section won't slide out accidentally. The entire back section is an engineering marvel. It is only spoiled by the rudder connection. Because it's on a mixel joint it tends to shift into odd angles. It can give the ship just a little bit of cartoonish character, but I don't think that's what the designer had in mind. A clipand bar connection would have been better and kept the rudder level with the bottom of the boat. In total there are 3 sections that can be removed for access to the inside of the boat. In the front is what I believe to be a bed along with Nami's map of the world. Zoro would need to jump a little to get into bed, but that is at least somewhat realistic compared to a kitchen where your arms have to lift pans above your shoulders. Both the kitchen and the bedroom have stairs leading down into them along with a doorway. Behind the main mast is a cargo area. Inside, the cargo turns out to be a lot of food and our 4 Wanted Posters. There is also some meat inside the treasure chest kept on the forward deck. Apart from the meat (which Luffy is always wanting more of) the food selection seemed very random. Especially the green egg. If that's a reference to something I couldn't think of please let me know. I was happy to get 4 different Wanted Posters after hearing about poor distribution from other people. However, my other sets did not treat me so well... You'll see in the other reviews but I ended up with a lot of duplicates and I'm still missing 2 posters. I get the idea of having chase elements and wanting people to work to "collect them all." But I bought or received every set in the theme. It seems reasonable to want to get all 8 posters without having to buy multiples of sets or buy off Bricklink. I don't know how they ensure that except to put all 8 posters in the biggest set. Now to finish talking about how this set plays with scale. You can see that the front of the ship is pretty much minifigure scale. This works great and allows for the crew to point out their next island destination. Moving to the back of the ship it focuses more on micro-scale. The tiny door and 1x1 round tiles for portholes make a micro-scale cabin and the tangerine trees in the back would fit well next to a micro-figure. Putting a minifigure in the back to steer the ship helps spoil the forced perspective. But overall I think the set balances the scale well. This is a set that looks great as a display model but will also provide a lot of play potential for the kids. Through the series of One Piece Luffy slowly recruits a crew to join him. They become known as the Straw Hat pirates because of Luffy's iconic straw hat. But the end of season 1 of the Netflix show Luffy has recruited 4 members. In the picture we have Luffy, our intrepid captain; Nami, the navigator; Usopp, the sniper; Sanji, the cook; and Zoro, the swordsman. Overall their outfits represent their live-action counterparts well. Zoro gets a new sword element that attaches at the neck. This is necessary because Zoro uses a fighting style called 3-sword style where he holds the 3rd sword in his mouth. I was really hoping Lego would make a neck bracket with a clip to hold anything and was disappointed when they went this direction. The element works great for this use, but it's limited to this situation only. The sword can be held by the handle, but the neck bracket element sticks out making that not a viable usage. Each has back printing and alternate faces. A missed opportunity to include Sanji with hearts printed for eyes. Nami and Zoro have dual-molded arms and Usopp has a printed sweatband on his left arm. I feel like this was a missed opportunity to have side printing for Nami. Adding her signature circle pattern on her legs would have helped a lot. Each character comes with a new-for-One-Piece hair or hat element. Not picture is Zoro's new bandana piece. It's similar to the previous pirate bandanas, but slightly different. Since Lego is making their sets based off the Netflix show and not the manga or anime there is one major change to a character that I feel is a big loss. That is Usopp. In the manga and anime Usopp has a comically long nose. He is known for telling tall-tales and Pinocchio and his nose easily come to mind. For the live action series they chose to ignore that physical aspect of the character. I tried replacing Usopp's head with the Lego Pinicchio. However, the expression on the face ruins it. I really hope Lego makes at least 1 set based on the anime and re-uses the Pinocchio head for Usopp with the right skin tone and facile expression. But all those minor complaints shouldn't stop you from enjoying this set. All the arcs in One Piece seem to end with some kind of feast. This review will be no different. Using just food and drink elements from the set, our crew is enjoying having set off for another adventure. OVERALL In summary I have a few complaints with the set, but compared to the finish product they are minor. This boat is a fantastic re-creation of the Going Merry and looks amazing. The shaping is superb and it is packed with detail. There are lots of compartments and the right amount of space for our whole crew. It's great that you get all 6 Straw Hat pirates in this one set. If you just want 1 display model you don't have to source the rest of the crew from other sets. The finished boat is sturdy and I believe will hold up to play well. SCORE How do I rate this set? DESIGN 9 I love the overall design of this set. The rudder not using a clip, the lack of side printing on Nami and overuse of stickers are the only reasons this gets a 9 instead of 10. BUILDING EXPERIENCE 9 It was fun to build and managed to pack a lot into a small space. It makes great use of modern building techniques. It felt like a standard build, but that's only because Lego building techniques have been getting more and more clever. FEATURES 9 There are great play features with all the areas of the ship for story-telling. The negative feature is the random distribution of the Wanted Posters. I got lucky with this set, but others did not receiving 2 or 3 of the same poster. Somehow Lego needs to get better at distributing these chase elements. PLAYABILITY 10 This set is very easy to play with, full marks there! PARTS 10 I wouldn't call this set a good parts pack, but it does have a great selection. New elements are used well, colors work well together and nothing feels missing or superfluous.. VALUE FOR MONEY 10 At 140 USD it's just over the golden PPP. At 130 EUR it's just under. Either way I feel like this set is a good value. You get a great ship, the full crew and hopefully a good set of Wanted Posters. FINAL SCORE: 10 I"m going to round up and give this set a perfect 10. Yes, there are some small flaws. But if you are a One Piece fan you are going to want this set as a part of your collection. But what's this, there's more! What would happen if our crew stumbled across the Eldorado Fortress? Guys, there's an island up-ahead! Should we go check it out? I don't know, what if there are monsters waiting for us? I'll bet they have meat, I'm going to go check it out! Wait Luffy, we should go together! It's too late, he's already gone. Come on, let's go catch up with him. Tune in next time to find out what happens next!

My latest ship was created with the specific intention of making a LEGO Ideas project out of it. You might notice some major differences with my other ships (if you're familiar with those). Most notable is the lack of custom rigging on this ship. It's 100% LEGO parts, which is a requirement for an Ideas project. It takes 10000 supporter for a project to be considered to become an actual set and make it to the stores. I hope I can count on your support, it takes only little effort to support my model and it doesn't cost you a thing . Also keep in mind that over time changes will be made to improve the model, I highly value the opinions of a real pirate fan so don't hold back and share your constructive criticism. I'm sure some of you will recognize some similarities with the Red Beard Runner, such as the red hull and the general color scheme . I found that a red hull is in general not very popular amongst ship-builders but I can tell you that I've been working on a brown and a white variant, at the same time I will make an alternative with the new type of hull. I will post these later (still need to gather some parts for that). The sails were taken from the Skull's Eye Schooner and attached using technic ball pins and studded ropes. The crows nest was made using the same technique as I did years ago on my Flying Dutchman (which reached 10000 supporters as an Ideas project). Custom built cannons on deck. You can actually see through the skylight. The CMF pirate would make an excellent crew member. I seem to have lost my interior pictures. Hold on while I retrieve those. They are on the Ideas page if you can't wait though. If you feel like supporting just click any of the pictures, it will lead you right to the project page .

Hello everyone! This is my first post here, and I want to introduce myself with my Spanish Galleon build! (excuse the pirate flag its the only one I have at the moment) The ship itself is more than 2,000 pieces with more than 15 yards of rigging. It has a total of 4 decks, which carry its 24 guns. I have been planning and working on this build for the last 3 months and very happy how it turned out! This is my first large ship I have built, and it comes in around 3 feet long (just the deck) and 2 feet tall, which means its about 1/2 of minifigure scale! I used a combination of different hull techniques that I learn here to give the hull its shape. I have yet to include sails but will be working on that shortly! I have different stages of the build on my Flicker which you can check out here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/183944563@N05/sets/72157712187520373/ Here it is side by side with a official Lego pirate ship! As you can see its more than double the size! Lastly this has recently been posted to Lego Ideas and your support would be greatly appreciated! I think it would look amazing with the upcoming Pirates Bay set coming out later, but also we need to show Lego that fans want the Pirates and other classic themes back on the shelfs! With your support we can bring awareness to this! https://ideas.lego.com/projects/87e933b4-7625-44cf-be1a-fda4369acdd3 Some more pictures!

This is a MOC that I designed for Lego Ideas, inspired by the 2009 wave of Lego Pirates sets. The major inspirations behind this set were the new Balloon pieces that were introduced last year in 2016, as well as the fun compact ship that came in the Lego Spongebob set 3817-1, The Flying Dutchman, Circa 2012. However, I did not get past the first 100 votes that I needed to advance to the 6 month grace period to advance. This has not discouraged me from refining the idea for the set, and I plan to re-submit a newer version of the model soon, hopefully with new play features. Since I've last submitted this MOC, it has gone through several major revisions, which I am very eager to share with you in the following weeks.

i have been on this group for a while now looking at all the cool builds you guys make and you inspired me to build a lego pirate ship from scratch. it is not as good as the stuff you guys build but i think it is alright. if you are wondering what the winch hook is doing it is meant to be an anchor. the technic pins on the side are meant to represent lots of cannons. you cannot quite see it but on the top of the mainsail there is a crows nest. please could you also tell me if you have posted any custom lego builds so i can check them out.. https://flic.kr/p/2iKyyDy https://flic.kr/p/2iKBdgM

I'd like to draw some attention to an Idea that has been gathering support at a steady pace for a while now. From, @paokus, the creator of The Pirate Bay (which was made into the Pirates of Barracuda Bay set!), comes 'The Sword of the Seas': If you like this Idea, and would like to see it made into an official Lego set, then please follow the link and support it on Ideas!

This is my entry to the contest, Although the brick built sails that came with this set are good, I wanted regular sails. I took the liberty of changing the masts to fit the sails and also modified some areas to make them minifigure height around the deck and added a wall to separate the front of the ship from the rear. It’s a decently sized small ship but my vision was to add a few details and building techiniques I found from the 2015 Brick Bounty and the 2020 Barracuda!!

Ahoy! Here you are a bizarre and grotesque ship initially made for Lego Ideas program. At last I opted to don't propose it, but however I realized a video on my YT channel where I show it in 360 degrees. This is the link and I hope you'll spend few minutes to watch it and enjoying it! https://youtu.be/GnKt0A6xp5M?si=QJEp6lQ-pZEOWpPC

Angus Ferriman won the sloop "The Pointed Dingleweed" in a game of cards. He got some pushback from his new crew on the name, so he changed it to "The Naughty Nougat". They liked that better. --------- Here's my micro ship class 3 earned as a prize during Challenge IV: Rebuilding Terraversa Wanted to try a ship on the new nougat hulls Trying to find more uses for my bazillion muskets.

It's been a long, long time indeed since I last posted a ship with skull and crossbones and a crew of bloodthirsty pirates. Somehow, in the recent years I tended to focus on various factions of soldiers. Well, no more of those boring uniforms! Allow me to introduce you to the Kiss of Death! I also really wanted to use official LEGO sails, so here they are, and they come from the Brickbeard's Bounty set, well except this ship uses more of them! Some more photos... The ship's wheel actually turns the rudder in a historically-accurate fashion. I am planning to post a film showing how this works at a later time. The gun deck. The ship has 12 cannons and I used almost the entire remainder of my cannon supply to arm her. I guess it's either time to buy some more or to go custom in the future! The captain's cabin, as usual. Here you can see the rope moving the rudder. As mentioned earlier, a film will be provided soon to show this in action. I have also uploaded the ship to Instagram, so feel free to check her out in there as well! Also, let me say that I managed to finish the build just in time for a pretty large LEGO exhibition, in which I will participate in less than 2 weeks. Any comments are obviously welcome! Thanks!

Dear all Simply wanted to get some feedback on the model below. Anyone else got some sea-worthy vessels, or is everyone tabletop lego-builders? In general one can say that I've tried to stay true to the design and aesthetics of the Black Seas Barracuda (1988). Trimmed to hard on the aft when not making way, but none the less calibration of hull is straight forward. This was the first actual sail test. I've been considering building in an engine for remote control, but not as of now. Glad if anyone else has some floating models to present, or other ideas. Have a nice spring- Yannis -
The capture of the Bonnie Lass by Montgomery DuLac's Night's Gold was a surprise to many, especially DuLac himself, who had no particular interest in owning the warship, nor the crew for a ship twice the size of his own. A few days in port, and with repairs to both ships underway, DuLac encountered an old frenemy: Elspeth Harrow. Miss Harrow was in the market for a ship, and so ownership quickly changed hands again. Now-Captain Harrow immediately set about gathering a crew of her own. She found time to get the ship blessed by a priest of the Lord of Deep Waters, and rechristened the ship Maiden of the Deep. At dusk the next day Harrow set sail with a ship full of battle-ready sailors and marines. As for DuLac and his crew, well, that many doubloons bought many a drink before they too set sail. I tried a few new things on this. The hull design was inspired by Hass Kabal's Jackdaw project over in Pirate MOCs. Not entirely convinced by the sails, but I wanted to get this posted up. I may post the alternate, sail-less version later, possibly with some crew (and a hatch to the lower decks added - the things you only realise you missed after uploading the pics). The cabin sides are hinged to open outwards, though I've yet to fully furnish the interiors. Not sure how viable this would be as an actual build; the interior is quite hollow and lacking in structural supports because I was lazy and more concerned with the outward appearance. And I just realised I forgot the rudder... more pics later, it looks. -

Hello, would like to present one simple and classic design. I 'm pretty sure you are all well familiar with the Caribbean Clipper (set no. 6274). And while my dream ship was the Black Seas Barracuda, I always yearned for the blue sails of the imperial soldiers. Even though I never had the set, I always found it to be lacking compared to the big pirate ships. So once I had my hands on the complete BSB, I also got myself a 70ish percent complete set of the BSB that I used to modify and enlarge the complete one. What I was left with was enough pieces to build my own redention of the Caribbean Clipper. Where I found it lacking was not in the style itself, but I found it to be too short in lenght, and lacking a second full mast. And for the past years I 've been building it slowly with extra parts I was left with from other creations. It's nothing that special, it's quite simple actually, but I hope I managed to catch that "Classic pirates" vibe I really love :) Brig - Two Masts - Two Square Sails on the Main 21C And ofcourse the bow and stern I hope you'll like it guys

Hi everyone, I'd like to present you my latest MOC. The residents of my Lego city needed some green space and their kids some place to play. So, here it is: a big playground in the courtyard with a wooden pirate ship and a little sand pit. It's surrounded by the Microsoft Store, the modified Green Grocer, the Main Post Office and the Mom & Pop Store and Garage. I got the idea for the ship here and had a lot of fun building it, especially since it was a little bit out of my comfort zone. I hope you like it. C&C are welcome.

173D Another one of my favorite ships that I decided to modify. Now this one I turned into and Imperial Ship. Mostly because I have no imperial ships. It now has 6 cannons, a full deck, and a few other things. Hope you like it. Untitled by K R, on Flickr I took your advice and added a yellow stripe to the ship. I think it makes it look much better. Also you will notice in the above pic it now had 4 cannons and an improved deck. More pics to come in the future.

I really want to own a LEGO pirate ship (or maybe even a merchant ship), but all of the ships for sale on the aftermarket are ludicrously expensive and the upcoming Brick Bounty doesn't really appeal to me. Is it possible to build a ship for under $50 using parts ordered from Bricklink? I've had experience with Bricklink in the past ordering parts for a LEGO Ideas project, but all of my MOCs so far have been built using pieces that I already own.

UPDATE November 2nd 2019 I told myself I wouldn’t start another hull until I was done with my current queue of MOCs, but I just couldn’t resist. After all the fun I had trying to finish Nuisance, I’ve been just a bit tired of sewing and rigging. Instead as I sat there watching Scorpion (the 4th edition) continue to collect dust, with her crew stoically awaiting completion or reconstruction of their ship, I just kind of snapped. I liked the old hull, but it just needed to be redone. The style, with which it was built, was good and rather conventional but ultimately inferior to the newer one I’ve adopted and adapted. I grabbed a few shots for posterity and reference and began tearing hull. A few hours later I was ready to pass out and had little to show, I went to bed feeling defeated and a little guilty. A couple of days later I came back to the table determined to right the wrong and reduced the old hull down to individual bricks. With the components sorted and accounted for I was in a better place and much more up for the challenge. I’d like to say I did the responsible thing and quit at a reasonable hour, but honestly I became a bit obsessed and in the wee hours, finally stopped work. Rather impressed with myself, I used my cell phone camera to grab a few shots and this is what I had. She’ll be a 16 gun brig ( 2more ports were added in the bows after the images were taken), a sloop in the Royal Navy under command of my own Charles Finley. Finley is my own fictional character who briefly commanded two previous Scorpions, the original brig and the later post ship. When construction was started on the new hull, I wasn’t sure if I’d be settling for another schooner or if a brig was going to be a possibility. At this stage I’m convinced rigging a schooner on this hull is right-out and have decided she must be a brig. The old battery, made up of something like 12s, is being recycled from the 4th hull. I’m considering adding a quarter (really poop) deck and stern cabin, but I’m not sure. Some of the Cruizer Class had cabins added aft, but it wasn’t part of the original design. Then again, this isn’t an exact model any way. For the sake of my fiction it’d be nice if Finley could have a cabin, since he’s essentially taking a demotion just to have a ship to command, but not at all necessary. If it would ruin the lines of the ship I’d rather not, but I like the idea of having one otherwise. What say you all? Now just for fun The History of Scorpion: The first 12 gun brig was a rather rudimentary model. It was a first attempt to recapture my lost skill with a very limited supply of bricks. In universe she was sailed to her station but was shortly thereafter deemed unseaworthy, having been much abused and sadly, sent to the knackers’ yard. Much of her timbers were reused on later iterations. The second Scorpion was intended to be a replacement for the aged brig but never sailed under that name. She was cutter rigged and had half as many guns as her predecessor, but a slightly more refined technique was used. After being abandoned for a time, in favor of a more suitable replacement, the hull was recycled into what would become Narthex. Though slated for a re-dux, Narthex is still with in service. http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=59351 The third rendition was a grand experiment in a new technique, intended to stretch my brick supply as far as possible. The ambitious project, had it worked out, would have resulted in a 20 gun post ship, but it was far too fragile. The entire concept relied on gravity and quite a bit of SNOT to stay together. After the second time it was dashed on the floor the design was abandoned. In the grander story, she too never sailed. While fitting out for sea, she was blown up as an act of revenge by pirates. In both reality and fiction she took the cutter Hawk, which had been serving as a test bed for the same techniques, with her. http://www.eurobrick...c=66085&hl=hawk http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=59877 The fourth iteration was yet again a complete experiment in technique. Intended more to “stick it to” my detractors, the exercise served to open my eyes to significant new possibilities. As has become my wont, much of the initial concept was inspired by other works here, but to serve my needs required refinement and ingenuity. The result was intriguing and I took it rather far, but still put it aside unfinished. Even though this hull was never complete and a yet another replacement is in the works, she was written in to the tale and the role she played stands. The details will simply be adjusted to accommodate the few differences between the two vessels. The fifth, and perhaps final, version uses my latest technique and has created a rather impressive effect even at this early stage. Though I had hoped this one could have been more of a direct model of the Cruizer Class, it would require a significantly greater investment in bricks (money) and I just can’t afford that at this juncture. Instead I’ll pour my heart in to yet another historically reverent interpretation, based mostly on the Cruizer Class, of which there was a famous Scorpion in the same historic timeframe.

168B First off, I apologize for the photos. I'm not a photographer. I did the best I could. This is my very first pirate ship MOC ever. I've put a lot of hours into this, and I'm pleased with the results. I borrowed a few ideas from Red Beard Runner, such as the skull on the back. That was my favorite pirate ship when I was a kid, although I didn't own it until a couple years ago. https://www.flickr.c...57645808353830/ Constructive criticism is welcome, especially for the masts. They don't stay on there very well. You may not be able to tell from the pictures, but I did do some modifications to the base of the masts, adding some Technic plates to the bottom. I also have long axles going through the masts. Neither of those things really helped at all. I'm also still trying to come up with a name for it.

[pid][/pid] 150B Ahoy mates! I be Cap'n Redshanks, mighty pirate, and for many years now I've been a regular visitor of these fine forums - but nary a post have I made. My meager collection of pirate LEGO hasn't produced much worth sharing. Now that I be home for the summer, it's time to set sail in my first completed MOC: the "Sea Chantey", me flagship. Enjoy! Most of the techniques and parts I utilized came from TLG ships, like the POTC Black Pearl and 2009 Brickbeard's Bounty. The sails are made of cardstock paper, and the reef points are (very poorly) hand-drawn. Here are some more views: A view from the port quarter. From dead astern. Dead-ahead, bow-on. A closer view of the stern. Nothing fancy here; the gold cutlasses came from the Pirate Captain in TLG's Minifigs Collection. The main cabin. Apologies for the blurry picture. The doors are a wee bit close to the mainmast, but I couldn't move the mast forward too much or else it would ruin the proportions of the ship; it'll just be a tight squeeze for the captain A closeup of the quarterdeck. See how close those doors are? I will probably change that later... Closeup of the winch over the gun deck. It can rotate in any direction. The gun deck. She can mount three guns per side, unless you clear out the cabin and stick cannons out the windows...improvisation, after all, is the art of a true pirate! A very blurry shot of the figurehead, a parrot. It seemed to fit with the aesthetics of the ship... That's it! Please leave your comments, criticisms, insults, and angry exclamations below. Fair winds and following seas, me buckos! - Redshanks
