Welllll, I guess ya'll did purty fair in makin' up yer own epitaphs.

So I decided to make you work a mite harder this time.


Piratin' is all about gettin loot and gettin away with it fast and what is more needful than a fine pirate ship ?

Yeppers!

You guessed it - it is time fer you to show that there is more than rum in yer head . Design a pirate ship worthy to sail the seven seas. Don't forget all the weapons cause you will need to defend yer loot. Being able to haul some cargo is certainly important as well as havin enough hands on deck to do the dirty work .


Post yer design here - it can be pictures (no more'n three) or it can be words. It makes no nevermind to me so long as I kin tell what yer a aiming fer.


Ye got til Sunday nite the 23 at 8 pm CST. Then the mods of this here establishment will be'a castin votes and pickin their favorites. Those I'll put up and then you can vote and may the best ship win

Here is my entry, i hope i did it correctly? The Banner annoyed me and appeared blury but ehhh lol. Logo i added the crown myself hehe.

Arrr! as fierce as the seven sea's she be the meanest ship around the Caribbean, striking fear into the eyes of any at sea when they set their eyes on the black sails she be flyin' with the logo of a skull and royal crown. Aye she not be the fastest in the Caribbean compared to the Black Pearl but when in battle she be the cruellest ship to be against ye. She be one of the biggest War Galleons packing a mean punch with two full decks of the best guns around, including the mighty triple guns she holds a whopping 80 guns in total including front cannons and two at the back if needed to fight everything that surrounds her in battle. Packing tough armour at the back and front she can withstand many blows the navy throw at her.

The captain be havin' no mercy when she steers her beloved helm, intricately carved by herself and lined with the precious jewels of those she plundered as memoirs. Aye she be a fine looking ship for one so mean, a deceiving appearance to those that see one so beautiful, with 4 masts each bearing 4 of the dreaded black sails, and the front mascot be the cutthroat lady 'erself wearing her crown, leading her ship through the waves into battle. She be manned by a big crew though and their own deck of course to make sure they are well rested, a well stocked galley of rum, ale and the finest foods plundered from the EITC. The captain's quarters be located below her helm and a room on deck holding the finest cutlery possible to celebrate the many victories with her 100+ crew, many of those begged to join her rather than face the Queen as they be sent to Davy Jones's locker or face the treacherous waters and walk the plank!

Ah what the heck ill give it a try!

The Dark Destroyer!
The Dark Destroyer is a mencacing ship holding a total of 32 broadside cannons with a massive 16 cannons on her top deck. They say her crew be cursed and all who step on the ship be cursed as well. Her sails be made of pure gold thread stolen and plundered from the countless ships and towns she has attacked. Her captain well he be the worse his eyes be a dark as the night sky with the most lavish of clothes, all plundered o' course! Many men speak of this truely horrifying ship the only problem is is they all be old sailors tales and night time stories because no one has actually seen her supposedly by the time you she her golden sails you'd be dead.

The Wave Queen

The Wave Queen was made first by the Royal Navy and its brother, The Goliath
Was going to be honorable ship made for Lord Beckett but was to strong for use
in human hands... so they had to trash it on the shores of Isla Tormenta
Thats where I found it and rebuilt it on its lofty strains, made it the one of the strongest ships on the sea along with the Flying Dutchman, The Black Pearl, and the fleet leader of Victory Shark..

The Wave Queen has a total of 50 cannons not cannoned by man... by 'Ghost Stories' you could say and a total of 100 broadside cannons that could sink 50 ships at a time.. its sails are one of the most feared things on the sea to see
black sails torn and tatterd and torn through all the rough battles.. its barnacle
filled floors and its majestic wheel is a paradise for any pirate... and one last thing its captined by a man so evil that hell it self spat him back out.... Erich Uchiha
SO YOU BETTER START BELIVING IN GHOST STORIES YOUR IN ONE!!!

[MacIronhawk]

Ah, I guess I'll enter.
I wish I knew more about photoshop.

I just made up the name.
Sea Scrouge.
By day it sails as an ordinary war frigate but by night it sets up it's black skull and cross bone flags. With its' 26 cannons it's sunk over 56 ships now. It drifts around the backwaters of Padres Del Fuego with it's sorrowful crew. Not one of them is aware of what they're doing because of the curse. The Sea Scrouge was one of the only ships that dared go against Jolly Roger and lost. In return for staying alive they'd be cursed to live forever under Jolly Roger's command.
Here's a picture.

And on the side of the ship.
<---The font makes the r and c's look the same.

[Cannonfury]

My ship would have 12 sails to move through the seas. It would have 30 broadsides on each side as well as 18 cannons. 3 in front(2 on either side of the front, one in the middle) 2 up above,4 on each side, and 5 up where the captain is. One of the cannons would be directly behind the captain in case of attack from behind the ship. The broadsides and cannons only fire furry or lighting as well as a grapple hook.

The cargo hold would be divded into 2 sides..One side which can hold up to 65k gold and the other side which is for prisoners. The sides are divided my a double wooded wall.

[Deadpool]

This be a ship like no other feared by even The Dutchman it is. Faster than a War Sloop, more powerful than a War frigate, and a greater cargo hold than even a War Galloan. It is...

The Fugitive Defender



Interested?

This ship is recognized by it's three sail appearence. It only has 20 on-deck cannon, they surround the entire ship. The best part of this beastly ship is the cargo hold. It holds a max of 38k gold. It will only need up to three crewmates. What you WANT to split the gold with 50 other pirates? It is also the best ship to carry a gang of pirates where they need to be. It can fire up to 300 broadsides.

I did my best not sure if it's good enough though lol

The Gun Queen

Some call it the Kill Monger, Some call it The Wrath of Neptune, and some call it The Gun.... and thats all they say before they get blasted to Davy Jones Locker.
Packing a nasty 58 Broadside cannons and 43 On Deck Cannons this Ship is part of a Powerful Group of Ships called The Neptune Elite. There are 27 Broadside Cannons on Each side and 3 Triple Guns in the Front, The Captain says theres no need to put Back cannons on the ship.....No Ship in the Caribbean or any Ocean would dare sneak up on her anyway. The Gun queen is the Only known Ship to posess a Quad Barrel Cannon and is the Only known ship to take on the Kraken and Survive. The Speed of the ship makes The Gun Queen Uncatchable even the Black Pearl is no Match for the Speed of it. The Gun Queen holds the more cargom than any ship on record possessing a Maximum Weight of 5 Tons of Cargo ( or 10,000 Royal Chests ). You may be thinking how can it hold that much, but its Captain has his ways. Each Cannon is Loaded with Explosives so any ship that makes it within 100 ft. gets blasted to the Locker. So The next time you see the Gun Queen you See Davy Jones Locker.

I'm sure most of you have heard of the navy ship called "The Swallow". You know, that super pirate buster that destroyed many pirates including Bartholomew Roberts. Well the story they dont tell you is what happened to it's larger, more powerful, sister ship. This ship, originally called "The Albatross", was equipped with 16 boardsides on each side (32 total) and 11 cannons on each side (22 total) and larger than any war frigate or war galleon in the Caribbean. While it was at port the day before it was going to go into its first battle with its sister ship, The crew of Christopher Trueshot's bucaneers snuck into the harbor and stole the ship. Rumor has it that he renamed it the Victory Shark and hid it on a remote island near the end of the world. It is very rare that someone would see him sailling that ship, but on the rare occasion you do see a giant ship with this flag on it (if you can get close enough to it before it destoys you) you know trouble is coming.

[davy redflint]

the jolly roger...

fast and sleek....
32 guns
120 member crew
fear by the navy and wanted by the east india trading co.

the flag ship of the redflint family of pirates....

The Storm Avenger...a 4 masted frigate with reinforced hull. She takes to the seas like a water-bug to a still pond. Gliding effortlessly over the water and silent as a cat in the fog.

She has 2 sets of sails...one black for night and one bluish-green for day. She's manned by 40 stout crewman, fierce of heart and sturdy of back. All have a bloodlust in their eyes for bounty and treasure.

With 20 below-deck broadsides and 20 on-deck cannons she's a nigh unconquerable opponent. Her captain, Anne Stormhawk, sails her without fear or remorse.

The Avenger has 16 side cannons, 2 front tri-load cannons and 2 rear tri-load cannons. She pillages the seas of all weaker ships and with her four fully furled sails she's a match for the fastest tub on the water.

Grown men quake to see her sillouhette on the horizon and young deck hands cry for their mothers when she approaches.

She's the bane of all the oceans on the globe and her Captain, Anne Stormhawk, rules the seas with an iron fist and a jaunty grin.

Warn yer sons! The Storm Avenger be sailing and none are safe from the wrath of this fearsome foe!
