Stash2Sixx - our wealthiest member so far...
Many of us, the fans of LEGO Pirates, have those gold coins that are included in many Pirate sets. They come in values of 10, 20, 30 and 40. Have you ever tried adding all of your coins up, like real money, to find out how rich you are?
Some Classic-Pirates.com users have already done so, and it turns out that our richest member so far is Stash2Sixx, who has a total amount of 23 360 in gold! He even posted a picture of his treasure.
Do you want to show us your gold coins? Or perhaps you have even more coins than this? Or do you want to see the full list of our wealthiest users so far?

A magnificent pirate vessel...
Check out this amazing giant pirate ship called Death's Breath, built by Eurobricks and Classic-Pirates.com member Dr Rod. The picture shows the vessel being displayed at BrickExpo in Canberra, Australia.
Its creator claims it was built hastily - certainly the picture doesn't show that. The interior details are still to be completed, so good luck with that!

The sailors are busy...
Sometimes we do show you old MOCs which definitely deserve being featured on Classic-Pirates.com. This is the case with this vignette, built by BaronSat in 2006.
This MOC features a cross-section of a ship's hull, showing various activities taking place on a typical day at sea. And there is much to be done on a ship like this one!

A hoax or a new theme?
This picture was taken at this year's San Diego Comic Con. Surely this minifig looks like Jack Sparrow from Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean movie series. Does this mean we will see a new licensed theme soon?
With the LEGO® Group now working with Disney and having relaesed themes like Prince of Persia, this surely does sound plausible.

All the beauties in one place...
Ever seen a group picture of all official Pirate ships ever released? Thanks to Eurobricks and Classic-Pirates.com member JeKyll, now you have a chance to see them all side by side. Pirates, Soldiers, Imperial Guards, Imperial Armada - all of their ships are here.
Check out all ten of these magnificent vessels that formed the history of Lego Pirates!

A typical day in the fort...
A new Classic-Pirates.com user Brig. Brick has built this nice-looking soldiers' fort, cleverly using the cool Coast Guard-theme baseplate.
This Pirate-themed Lego creation is full of details, such as the jail, the treasury and lots of other rooms and secret passages. Make sure to check them all out!

It's not a warship!
Take a look at this old, but not previously blogged on Classic-Pirates.com and truly eye-catching vessel. This Pleasure Yacht was built by Eurobricks member and admin Hinckley in 2007 and really deserves its place in our blog.
Note the amazing figurehead as well as the huge and detailed sterncastle. This creation has a backstory of its own so make sure to check it out as well!

The Supply Tender Ratsee
Today is the time to show you another Pirate Lego creation which is not so new, but great and has not previously been featured on Classic-Pirates.com. It's the fabulous supply tender Ratsée built by Mr. Richie Dulin aka Legeaux.
The hull of this beautiful vessel is partially customised - it uses a white center section which was painted grey. The sails are obviously customs too.
You have to admit that the ship's colour scheme is really quite eye-catching.
