6260 - Shipwreck Island
It may be small, but it's a worthy addition to any pirate layout. Two minifigs, two animals, a printed island baseplate and gold! This maybe one of the best values in the line, from way back in 1989. Check out the full MISB unboxing and review and decide for yourself.

A classic never dies, unlike the Bluecoats, who will die in horrible, unthinkable, tragic, and hilarious ways in the TOR III
Do you ever get a sense of nostalgia? Do you ever wish LEGO would go back to yesteryear? Classic-Pirates.com's own Boomchil had that same feeling when he picked up a pile of classic sets to review! This review is for the classic 6267 Lagoon Lock-Up, a set featuring the periwinkle pansies Bluecoat soldiers from 1991. The set cost Boomchil a staggering $80.00 USD to pick it up on Bricklink, so don't let his investment go to waste, and check out the excellent review today.

The new LEGO Ideas book...Pirates within!
The new LEGO Ideas Book from DK was released last September, and has a few pages of interest for Pirate fans. It shows you how to make parrots, cannons, and a treasure chest. Also pictured are a few pirate ships and even a shipwreck! You can check out some of the book at the Amazon page.

Just an example - there are other reviews too!
A long time ago lots of interesting reviews of old LEGO Pirate sets were published on a website known as Adequate.com. Those were very imaginative, with a special made-up backstory for each set. That site has not been updated for years, but the old reviews are still there, and they're really worth taking a look at!
As a taste of what you can find there, we've posted their review of 6249 Pirates Ambush at Classic-Pirates.com forum. It was written by Joseph Gonzales back in 1997! We chose this set as it has not yet been reviewed on our website. Feel free to read it, and if you like it, proceed to other reviews at Adequate.com, and discuss them in our forum!
