Thanks for the Vasa link. An earlier time period (and a vessel that actually
survived quite a while beyond it's maiden voyage) but similiar incident is the
Mary Rose. The Big, Big, Big Classic Pirate ship is going to wallow miserably
like most high-castled galleons (assuming it doesn't pull a Vasa). I'm getting
seasick just imagining it rolling on the open ocean. :-Q $

But keeping in mind that we are dealing with Lego limitations (hull is of
limited width and does not indicate full depth), it's a fun ship. Yes, I love
that stern balustrade. Dunno about the stern castle being covered - the whole
point of that being open is so that your soldiers can shoot down on the foe.
In any case, it's more of the fat treasure ship that pirates are going to
capture than actually sail in. Thanks for sharing!
