Simply Elegant
Though simply named “An Imperial Ship”, one can see that this is not a simple ship at all. His first LEGO Pirate ship MOC, Forbidden Cove user Purple Wolf creates this sleek and defined Redcoat vessel. Using full custom rigging, a creative rolled-up sail technique, and overall nice part usage, he brings one more ship to the Imperial Fleet.

A Bounty of Booty!
They say treasure is a pirate’s best friend, so it’s no surprise that this is a ship made of love!
