They may be small, but we've got em in numbers
Our own News Scout Sebeus Iniwum has made some small, yet agile rafts. With limited firepower, numbers are their greatest ally. With numerous rafts they can easily overtake a large vessel. Whether crewed by Pirates or the occasional zombie, these will get the job done.

An Eastern Pirate Junk
Eastern pirates aren't something as commonly seen here on Classic-Pirates.com, so it is very refreshing to see a Pirate junk ship built by user Bjornu. In making this vessel he also introduces a new faction of eastern pirates. The unique red sails, eastern pirate crew, and lavish details on this vessel help make it stand out as a unique pirate creation.

Another entry in the "functional" design category, Eurobricks' member Morthen uses a power functions motor to open his gunports and move the cannons into postion. Head to the forum to check out the video of the motorized gunports in action and stay tuned as Morthen promises a completed version of the ship soon.

I hear a rumor... Jack Sparrow is in London
Conveying such an action-packed scene as the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides London Carriage Chase in still images with LEGO might seem impossible. However, swash buckler found a way to do it marvelously. The whole scene has been set up and created with such attention to detail that I can almost hear the sounds and the music from the film. He also took the time to move Jack around for photos so we could see his progress through the scene.

A motorized Lego ghost ship.
What happens when Lego Technic and Pirates clash? It seems we’ve just found out. Combining the power of Technic and Pirates, Sariel has built a motorized pirate ship that actually moves around. This lavishly spooky vessel also features some lovely details such as the crew getting into ghoulish mishaps and dark accents that personify this vessel as a ghost ship. It is certainly a vessel that many a sea fairing men would surely fear.

Technic elements have a new home!
We have been blessed with many beautiful ship models over the years on Classic-Pirates.com, and now our forum is starting to see some awesome "functional" designs from our members. Sebeus Iniwum strikes again with these recoiling cannons using technic springs and beams to create the realistic looking action. Head to the forum to check out a video (complete with sound!) of the firing action!

Can WE taste the triple guns?
LEGO has released a version of the Black Pearl and the Queen Anne's Revenge but no Flying Dutchman. With LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean™ seemingly on its way out, it appears we may never get a Flying Dutchman and there is nothing we can do about that. Or is there? Not long ago Eurobricks' member Sebeus Iniwum showed off his version of the Flying Dutchman and now his project is on CUUSOO. If you have not heard about CUUSOO, it is a site where LEGO fans can post their ideas. If an idea gets 10,000 supporters it will be reviewed by LEGO for a chance to become an official LEGO product! If you want a Flying Dutchman, support his project on CUUSOO.
Go vote on CUUSOO and be sure to discuss the Flying Dutchman or the status of LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean™ in the forum now.
