Arrrr. So now I know there are other mast-parts in existence, which I
don't have. And if I had them, I could make more really cool ships, with
more varied masts. And all I have to do to get these bits is to buy one or
more copies of the either of the biggest and coolest pirate ships ever (it
looks like only the BSB and SES have the base-column), which go for premium
on auction. Arrrr, indeed.

The 6274 Caribbean Clipper has a base-column, as does 6270 Forbidden Island.
You'll find either a lot cheaper than the BSB or SES. Forbidden Island can
have it stripped out of the existing set the easiest.

Well, you could try a bit of marauding :-)
