Porto de Sao Filipe
Toltomeja has created a simple scene with a fort high up on a rocky plateau. There are a lot of great small details like the uneven planking on the dock, seagulls, and a great statue.

Big power in a small package.
Everyone loves a good underdog story, well here's one on the high seas! One little canon, will they be able to take out the ship and head home with much needed gold and rum? It's going well so far!

The dog won't help you.
TheBrickAvenger has taken it upon himself to recreate some Playmobile sets in LEGO form. This is his second set and it came out looking at least ten times better than the source material. I especially like the look of the prison walls where he has mixed plates and tiles to give it a real stone feel, as well as the mixing in of a few darker pieces to break up the solid color a bit. Check out the rest of the pictures on the forum, and you'll see the prison has a moving door and the great details on the dock too.

The looks of this rival the Imperial Flagship.
Franko Komljenovic recently constructed this amazing pirate ship. It bears no name, but its looks alone are enough to make one remember it. The details are so crisp and clean, yet they maintain an almost LEGO set like quality.

"Well Jack, this seems like a safe place to go ashore"
Coming back from a raid, these pirates find themselves on an island where the natives don't look very friendly. An easy night by the campfire probably won't happen. The story is funny, and the MOC is nice as well, with an interesting cave, a large statue and more.

Isn't she a beauty?
This vessel built by Sebeus I is referred to as "The Beauty", and it certainly lives up to its name. This Polacca features some great details that are always present in Sebeus' builds including a great color scheme, custom sails, and an awesome crew.

Living is Better Than Sinking
Another wonderful creation from V&A Steamworks, this little town is full of detail. Turning a ship into a home is not easy, turning it into three homes is amazing. There's some great SNOT work here, and a few little scenes happening.

DarkTemplar's take on the Flying Dutchman
The Flying Dutchman has been built by a handful of builders before, with each version showcasing unique features and details. DarkTemplar continues the tradition with his version of Davy Jones' famous ship. The color scheme of grey, black, and dark green works surprisingly well for this vessel, and the white leaf pieces used as sails are particularly creative. The ship is also built in the scale of a set, so that it wouldn't dwarf official LEGO pirate ships like The Black Pearl or the Queen Anne's Revenge.
