Black Pearl Pirate Ship // Medium

This is an outstanding wood model of the Black Pearl—Captain Jack Sparrow’s ship originally known as the Wicked Wench. Throughout the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, she either overtakes or flees all other ships, including the Interceptor (regarded as the fastest ship in the Caribbean). She is noted in At Worlds End as being "The only ship as what (which) can outrun the Flying Dutchman."

Master craftsmen meticulously handcraft these highly detailed wood models using historical photographs, drawings, and original plans when possible. Each one is individually built to scale with high-grade wood such as western red cedar, rosewood, and mahogany using a plank-on-frame construction method similar to the building of actual ships. Every model requires hundreds of hours to finish and must go through a demanding quality control process before leaving the workshop.

The infamous Black Pearl model is fully coated in dark black paint. It features three decks and one row of ferocious metal cannons on each side of the ship. The front bowsprit and three large masts are connected securely using advanced rigging and lines painstakingly knotted and fastened by hand. Each yard has an attached, unfurled, hand-stitched sails made of fine linen. High above the foremast is a distinctive pirate flag with symbols of a skull and two blades crossing each other. Metal anchors and a wooden rudder are visible on the front and rear of the ship. On the deck, there are metal stationed cannons, wooden cabin, wooden stairways, wooden barrels, and many other spectacular ornaments. There is also an exquisite detailed admiral’s quarter on the stern with beautiful handcrafted metal lanterns, uniquely designed portholes, and other unique embellishments.

This is an “Exclusive Edition” where the model has a unique serial number etched into the hull to identify production date, material used, and all other production information of a model.
