Under full sail and in minifig scale!
He’s not a member of our forums yet, but Flickr member BlaketheAdmiral has made two very impressive and famous ships out of LEGO! HMS Surprise and USS Constitution, and both in minifig scale. They are very detailed and they both have an interior.

Read about sets released in 1992-1993...
...as well as those released in 1994-1995!
Not so long ago, Classic-Pirates.com member SirSven7 has prepared a comprehensive review of all Pirate sets released between 1989 and 1991. Now two more parts of his review are ready – the second part takes a look at 1992-1993 sets (enter Redcoats), and the third part is all about 1994-1995 sets (enter Islanders). This is indeed a valuable history lesson as far as LEGO Pirates is concerned, so don’t hesitate to take a good look at those reviews!

Yo ho, Yo ho, A pirate's life for me!
These very accurate built vigs representing some scenes known from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland are brought to us by new Eurobricks member Walt. They contain a very high level of details and are really a pleasure for the eyes. Be sure to visit the Forum for more interesting vigs.

A fine new frigate for the British fleet!
There’s a great new shipbuilder on our forum. Eurobricks member Aalak has made a fantastic classic frigate, based on Achille, Trincomalee and Vesta to name a few. Apart from the sails the ship is finished, and it’s already an impressive sight!
Hurry up and see HMS Ares WIP by Aalak in the forum!
At the previous update, Green Hair had just finished the white hull.
After almost 5 months of waiting, there’s finally a new update of this beautiful minifig-scale ship. Eurobricks member Captain Green Hair is in the progress of buying a new house, so we probably have to wait another year for the next update. So enjoy these pictures and take a close look on them!

Containing lots of new torso's, heads, parts, and other great things!
Although the new Pirates of the Caribbean LEGO sets are not officialy in the stores yet (release date: April 2011), some people have already managed to get a few of them. Eurobricks member VerSen is one of them. And he’s made an excellent review of Whitecap Bay (4194). We’ve already blogged some Russian reviews from VerSen, but this one is in English. So take a look at the mermaids, the gold bars, the bucket and more!

Perhaps the most famous ship of Trafalgar outside of HMS Victory.
Although the Battle of Trafalgar is known for a fight between ships of the line, there were also a few very small vessels present. HMS Pickle was one of them. A small but also a very fast ship. She was also the first ship to bring news of the victory at Trafalgar (and Nelson’s death) to England just 14 days after the battle. Eurobricks member Dread Pirate Wesley has made this fine vessel in LEGO and he did an excellent job. Even more because it’s his first attempt at a historical ship.

Read about this and other classic sets...
While some of us are currently anticipating the new Pirates of the Caribbean line, we must not forget about the sets that defined LEGO Pirates over 20 years ago! Classic-Pirates.com member SirSven7 has offered us a back to the roots of sorts by preparing a comprehensive review of all Pirate sets released between 1989 and 1991. This indeed is a very valuable source of information about those truly classic sets!
Read the review and discuss it in the forum!
Have you ever been looking for a certain ship detail without finding it? That problem is going to be solved. Eurobricks member Perfectionist has made a ship index full of pictures of even the smalles details. So far, the Ship Index contains: HMS Surprise (ex-Rose), USS Constitution, HMS Victory, HMS Trincomalee and HMS Warrior. If you have pictures of other historic ships, they can be very useful for the index.
All discussion, suggestions, and picture requests can be done in this thread.
Our PotC themes discusssion thread may seem a little bit confusing with 111 pages, so here are some interesting new finds:
