“Thought is the wind, knowledge the sail, and minifigurekind the vessel.”

Before Star Wars, pirates were among the original rogues. The LEGO community of RogueBricks decided to do a pirate-themed collaborative build for German fan event, Bricking Bavaria 2018. Builder markus19840420 answered the call with this prodigious pirate ship. His ship is dressed to impress, thanks to the curvature of the hull and custom rigging and sails.

The view from the stern is equally impressive, showing how some of the angles were achieved with a slight tilt of the brings.

The deck is armed with custom-built cannons, commandeered by a crew of scurvy dogs.

The best view on the ship is the quarterdeck, where the captain keeps a tight watch over his crew and the surrounding seascape.

    It was either 2016 or 2018 at Brickworld Chicago that I was wandering around, figuring out which “Best of” nominees to vote for, when someone I know was headed in the other direction and made a comment about not understanding why some particular sailing vessel was on the list because it was so small. I pointed out that it had a brick-built hull and how hard it is to pull that off convincingly with rectangular bricks.
