(...) Yeah, the FTV is cool, but why weren't ship hulls used for different themes and sets? There are 2 ways I wish Lego used ship hulls. One, they could've used ship hulls for sunken ships in the Divers theme. The divers did have a few sunken (...) (24 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) The FTV is a pirate hull in a different color scheme. If you're talking the big pre-fab hull pieces, there are really 3 kinds of each: 16-wide and 12-wide in bow, center, and stern. If you want to dvide them based on colors there's a lot more (...) (24 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.pirates)
