Dan,
It's beautiful--if a bit Wasa-like (don't run a full rig in a gale)!
My only suggestion is that the captive-cells in the sterncastle ought to
be in a less pleasant locale--like the bilge. :) I also like your
decorative scheme and the railing--nicely done.

Sure it could. Heck, they already used wall elements, one-piece rowboats,
big hull pieces...
Pirates Jr. would probably have one-piece hulls for all the ships, would lose
the detailed decorations that made the large ships so nice, probably one-piece
masts and one-piece crossbars to hang the sails from. The sterncastle would
be
made from wall sections instead of bricks - but the captain's cabin would have
a trap door to drop victims into the bilges.
J, feeling cynical yet?

I do like the beak of that ship and the general lines. Very
nicely done. But it does look like it needs windows in that
sterncastle, admittedly not easy given the colours of window
available...
The last pair of cannon, I noticed, aren't on swivels. Any
story behind that?

If you can get green striped "canvas" to match, that'll look great!

Hello hello!
My name is Benjamin Harris and I’m a new poster here. I’ve been lurking for
several years now, but I finally decided to work up the courage to share a
couple of my creations with the folks here at Lugnet.
Anyway, since both creations I’m posting today could fit nicely into either
.pirate or .castle (oddly enough), I decided posting in both newsgroups
should suffice.
First off I have a red medieval warship I built over a year ago and have
barely taken photographs of.
Here is 3/4 veiw of the front:

Nice work.The colour scheme is great, and the extended oars really look the
part. To be pedantic, triangular foresails are not particularly castle-ish.
Also, you can avoid fabric sails fraying if you glue along the cutting line (PVA
glue is good) before you cut.
That sterncastle is very well shaped.
Very nice - I love buildings that tower over ships.
Your gun carriages are also very clever. And so is the turntable mount.
Again, great work. I like that the wharf is a decent height too (not the
two-brick high official LEGO models! Nice for docking rowboats at, but not much
else).

Anyway, thank you for your time and PLMKWYT. I’ll be trying to keep things
much more historically accurate from now on.

Looking forward to seeing more!

Very cool!
The descriptions of both the HMS Sea Hawk and the Black Hawk are excellent.
The Black Hawk is a great vessel. The BSB/Dark Shark based sterncastle is
great - great use of blue rather than black. I like the way you’ve lengthened
the sterncastle along with adding the centre section - it gives it a good,
balanced look to the whole ship.
I like the way you’ve captured the atmosphere of the activity taking place
before a voyage in those pics too.
Looking forward to seeing more!
Cheers
