Check out those sails!
Eurobricks member lego fox has posted an excellent Lego Digital Designer ship, the Thomas Ledoux! With all those cannon, any pirate would think twice about attacking her. The brick built sails are an especially nice feature.

What lies behind that shipwreck?
Eurobricks member shmails brings us an intriguing Pirate scene. One side has a seemingly-deserted shipwreck...the other has a secret cave where a meeting of the Brethren Court is in progress! This is especially worth checking out for the excellent (all female!) custom minifigures. You can see lots of pictures on flickr here.

An Islander in his native land

It's nigh uncatchable...and also tiny!
Eurobricks member Sebeus Iniwum gives us a few adorable itty-bitty ships, the most exciting of which is the tiny Black Pearl! The shape of the ship is captured charmingly in miniature, with clever use of pieces like the Collectible Mini figure stand. It's a great little MOC that deserves a close study.

RTS Zavala of the Republic of Texas Navy
Eurobricks member RTN LNA has put together a Navy from an alternate history of Texas. It was posted here some time ago, but the Navy was on display at Brick Fiesta this year, and we're bringing it back as a blast from the past! There are several vessels here, so it's definitely worth a look.
