I don't know, I thought the Perilous Pitfall was a pretty good-
looking shipwreck! But as for semi-intact, one must consider
the condition of most shipwrecks as found...unless you're lucky
and find a Vasa or a half of the Mary Rose, most wooden ships
are rendered skeletal in a few years. We'd need metal ships.
But that said, I would have loved to see center sections for
the FTV 12-wide hull. Dark grey? Ironclad time! (Yes, I do
have them on the brain, as it were.)

Oooh...that's a great idea! Perch it upright, and it would be
nice and ominous. One could even make a Waterworld-esque Pirate
Atoll out of semi-wrecked ships. I've been blessed with some
of the fixings of islands, and if we have our Pirate Game of
the East Coast late enough this year (read: after 10 June), I
could even put some together.
BTW, Frank, I've noticed you buying Pirate lots again...is
there some sinister plot in the making? ;)
