LEGO Pirate Ship 31109

Even at age 69, I just can’t leave this one on the shelf for display. It just has too much fun to take down for a while and play with. I love the the mini figs and all the special decorations of the ship. The rigging is clever, and you’ll even notice that I did it as special personal mark to the rigging myself in jib area. Whether you’re 69 going on 70 or 69 going on 9 , I have to recommend this to everyone. The other part of it is that is just so sturdy, pick up and to move around to sit down. I am totally impressed. And half of the rest of it I have to warn you that I am a storyteller, so believe the rest of us at your own risk. I removed the skeleton design and replace it with a design of a popular country because he ships were often used as chameleon attack ships which were chartered by Kings and Queens, one nation and give them to privateers which were legalized pirates to attack and steal the goods from other nations, and bring them back to their own nation. Course they were granted asylum, awards, titles and lands, all the good stuff from their home nation for doing their deeds. They were considered to be heroes from the lands of where they came from so that is why there is a different insignia on my front sail. Usually they would wait and see if a treasure laden ship were being attacked by other vessels from other nations, or just by other pirates, and then once the other Pirates, or nations, had taken on board all of their bounty , they would swoop in attack the weaker pirate ship and steal back all the goods and Rush back to their own country and have a big party, and receive all the rewards so these type of boats, fast and nimble lightly Gunned, but able to maneuver and outman, the ships of they were attacking Were highly successful during the age of pirate sail. Have fun in your build , unfurl your imagination!
