Little Coloured Bricks

Sir Nadroj's Black Pearl

The Black Pearl is now in Legolandia and Legomaniacs are continuously producing different versions of the famed ship of the rather odd seafarer Captain Jack Sparrow.  Apart from Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbossa minifigures, Pirates of the Caribbean fans who are also fond of Lego have created quite a few Black Pearl ships.

Coste Cyril, a Lego builder built the Black Pearl. This wonderful creation looks a bit modern but still has that “pirate” feel. The Black Pearl created by Sir Nadroj is a more rugged Lego creation. It is simple with its tattered sails but it is at par with Coste Cyril’s.

Of course the Flying Dutchman is also in Legoland and it is now driving Lego seafarers to fear Legolandia’s seas. Sebeus I created a rather large Lego depiction of the Flying Dutchman. Based on the Dead Man’s Chest and the last of the trilogy At World’s End, Sebeus I says that the Flying Dutchman is more connected to the deep seas more than other ships because the Flying Dutchman lives.

Unlike the Black Pearl, the Flying Dutchman can sail underwater and even against the wind –making the ship more unique than any other ship. Sebeus I spent 2 months to create his Flying Dutchman Lego replica and the ship is not only huge it weighs almost 3 kilograms. Now that is some heavy Lego ship. Let us all hope that Legoland’s ports will be able to accommodate this mammoth of a ship.

For those interested in buying your own Black Pearl ship and the Flying Dutchman complete with crew, you can go to eBay. There are some sellers from Australia that sell what they have created. Unfortunately, snagging a photo from the worldwide garage sale is not possible so go ahead and search for it on eBay. As of right now the two ships are priced at AU$35.00 –five more days to go maybe Lego fans can join in, in the bidding.
