Something not often seen in our LEGO® Pirate community, is LEGO ships built partly with other materials. Sure, we see the occasional paper sail, kebab stick mast, but an entire wooden hull? Classic-Pirates.com forum user legofox presents us with something completely unique. Certainly a first in the LEGO Pirate hobby, this wooden hulled ship is sure an eye-pleaser!

Yesterday, Classic-Pirates.com forum member Captain Cavinano was kind enough to share with us his great work in the line of shipbuilding. His beautiful 6-deck 6285 Black Seas Barracuda, effectively known as the 'HMS Knight', boasts some lovely custom sails as well as some customs on minifig torsos. This ship is sure something for our member Captain Cavinano to smile about!
And you'll smile too if you check out some more photos of Captain Cavinano's HMS Knight!

Far away in a distant part of China comes the 'Chinese Junk'. This mighty ship is coloured and decorated with plenty of annotations making it easily recognisable that it is the notorious Chinese Pirates finest vessel! Will they get away with their villainous crimes using the hidden smuggling compartments? Or will the authorities find out who is really behind all this?

Will the authorities find out who is really behind this smuggling business?
AtomicBuilder has created for us this amazing Chinese pirate ship. Using interesting techniques and colours, he has produced a ship even an emperor would be proud of! Fitted put with a shining dragon figurehead, the finest pirate crew sail with pride and dignity as they steal from any ship that comes in their path.

After the recently Classic-Pirates.com frontpaged ship, HMS Prince of Wales, by Bonaparte, we have some brilliant news. Bonaparte has been kind enough to offer some behind-the-scenes shots on his somewhat 'community-built' ship - well, at least 'a few great ship builders-built'.
Anyway, rush over to the Pirates forum to check out a backstage tour of the making of the HMS Prince of Wales by Bonaparte!

After 6 months in the making and many teaser shots that were making us all spew in envy, Bonaparte releases his new ship in the Pirate forum. The Prince of Wales was a combined effort of Bonaparte, Captain green hair, Errorist, Zorro and HMS243, and it certainly shows that it's built by some of the best ship builders out there.
Featuring beautiful cloth sails and over 160 meters of rigging, this is a ship to be reckoned with. With 60 guns, she's armed to the teeth, and a great addition to Bonaparte's British army.
So come and see this long awaited ship, the HMS Prince of Wales by Bonaparte in the Pirate forum!

Gilded in gold and home to mighty black masts, the Fire Hornet is a ship to be proud of. The ship is housed at Port Gaverne ready to defend against Pirate attacks and and other scallywags who may threaten the docks laden with cargo being prepared for shipping.

Unfurl the sails!
Derfel Cardarn, primarily a Pirate theme builder created The Fire Hornet, a mighty ship brimming with munitions and ready to fight. The ship defends the port of his own creation, Port Gaverne. Although the sails are brick built, they have an excellent furled look which is a beautiful detail.

'Marie' is an impressive ship designed with a sleek round stern, plain white sails and a awe inspiring jet black figure head, ready to instill the most hearty pirates with fear. Laden with cannons and rigging this ship is a welcome addition to any navy.

A menacing black figure head and plain white sails complete the MOC
'Marie' was designed and built by Tekka Croe who's original design varied quite indifferently from this updated version. The unusual element in the MOC is the sleek curved stern which holds the large captain's cabin. The MOC is full of surprises and interesting LEGO® elements and techniques.
