It can be combined in several different ways. It also has many features like a prison cage, working cannons, and hidden treasure chests, just to name a few. It looks like this is going to be a very competitive contest!

Welcome to Eldorado Fortress, 2014 Edition
Eurobricks member Viktor aka -DoNe- has shared with us his first pirate MOC in two years! This time he’s chosen to remake the classic Eldorado Fortress for the Imperial Soldiers. Keeping true to this sets classic nature, he opted to avoid using modern build techniques. Never the less the base plate has been replaced with a brick built rock design and the ramp looks especially accurate with its “circular” rock designs, much like the printing on the original.

(Micro) Pirates of the Caribbean
Flickr user Anonymous Bricks has uploaded this creative micro build using only 11 pieces! Some parts are cleverly used, such as the Bionicle head and the plastic waterfall sheet from the Fountain of Youth set. This small display goes to show that you don’t always need to build a huge creation to showcase creativity.

Exactly what it sounds like.
Eurobricks member Captain Braunsfeld has created this small sloop, very aptly named the Small Green Flying Dutchman. This little darling comes complete with brick-built sails and guns, not to mention her own backstory and a colourful cast of characters to sail her!

HMS Bulldog
MassEditor has shared with us his first ship using a brick-built hull and custom rigging. It’s appropriately named the HMS Bulldog after it’s stubby nature and fierce armaments. It’s even armed with a piercing battering ram! Even the deck is armed with clever weaponry and great detail.
