Thread: Pirate Ship Plans

I'm looking for some sort of plans, ideas or suggestions for a Pirate Ship that I can pose skeletons on. I don't want anywhere near full size, nor real extravagant. More like a stage. Something that resembles a ship stuck in a mud bank so you would be able to see the decks from ground level.
Anyone have any pics of what the decks might look like?

I have an idea of some skeletons scrubbing the deck like in the first Pirate movie. Maybe some other things going on too.

Thanks
Terry

We are thinking about the same thing for our haunt.

I found an interesting blog with a cool pirate ship prop.


The Haunted Mansion-Northside

Wow. That is a cool site, pumpkin princess.
I would like to have that guy's talent, time, money, and house.

I do a pirate ship - just one side, the ship runs diagonally across my front yard with the back to a wall. Ship is made of siding from an old shed. Very authentic look without bothering to do all that faux-aging work. Four posts temporarily put up, screw the planks up the side. Mast is pvc, sails are old sheets and crow's nest from a wicker laundry basket.

Mine is for sale. Check it out: STARK Madness Photo Gallery - Facade - 2007 - Pirate Ship

Here's a picture of my pirate stage from last year (and this year too).

Captain Jack,

How are you making your masts?

I used 3" PVC for the vertical mast, and 2 1/2" pvc for the sail booms. I used a 12x12 black king size flat sheet from Walmart for the sail, th' wife wench sewed the Disney Pirates flag onto the sheet, an I cut th' cannonball holes in it. I'm going to use 3/8 rope for th' rigging/rat lines.
