Build your own model of a three-masted pirate ship. Just fit together the 30 slotted, preprinted cardboard pieces and paper sails to complete a handsome vessel more than 10 inches tall and 11 inches long, with a display base of ocean waves. The book at the center of the set, The Explorer's Guide to Pirates, portrays famous pirates, their ships, and their personal flags, and shows where pirates sailed, how they dressed, and even the superstitions they practiced. You'll also find instructions for making a compass, drawing a treasure map, and creating your own pirate flag.
