Customised Lego vintage Imperial solider shipped combining elements from the Caribbean Clipper and the Black Seas Barracuda. The ships blue prints are essentially the Black Seas Barracuda but with colour schemes implemented from other Blue Coat sets including the sails, canon flaps, flags and cabin. The Black Seas Barracuda itself was the first ever Lego Pirate Ship released, in 1989, and lego ships built today still use the same basic design elements.
