"You there. Boy - help an old blind beggar to the door will ya? Now! Take me to Black Dog!"
If you have no idea what that is, it's from Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. The same place as this outstanding MOC.

The Brick Time brings us one of the best pirate movie MOC's of all time. Be sure to whip into the pirate forum to discuss the Admiral Benbow Inn!

"WRECK OF THE HESPERUS"
It was the schooner Hesperus,
That sailed the wintery sea;
And the skipper had taken his little daughter,
To bear him company...

...At daybreak, on the bleak sea-beach,
A fisherman stood aghast,
To see the form of a maiden fair,
Lashed close to a drifting mast.

The salt sea was frozen on her breast,
The salt tears in her eyes;
And he saw her hair, like the brown sea-weed,
On the billows fall and rise.

Such was the wreck of the Hesperus,
In the midnight and the snow!
Christ save us all from a death like this,
On the reef of Norman's Woe!

See the LEGO poem inspired MOC in the pirate forum.

Recently, the Classic-Pirates.com forum has become quite cluttered with topics, and MOCs haven't been able to get their fair share of the first page spotlight. So, after much discussion, the Classic-Pirates.com Staff have decided to create a new subforum to showcase all of your MOCs! So now you can post your MOCs and MODs in this new subforum and all other pirate discussion can be made in the main pirate forum. So what are you waiting for?

Head on over to our new and exciting subforum, then voice your thoughts in the pirate forum!
