Thoroughbred Miniatures Sea Eagle line has ships from the Great Lakes 1812 era. Could be used for pirate themed game

Black Pearl toy ship, which can also serve as Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenge, and/or a well armed merchant vessel.

I'd post a pic, and have a few to spare, but Photobucket appears to be down right now.

There's also a nice little Chinese Junk, if you want to do a little piratin' in the Pacific, or at World's End.

I got into gaming with 15mm (Old Glory) pirates, spanish, and british. Now everyone that goes to Historican, Fall In and Cold Wars has gone to 28mm ships. I guess I'll have to change with the times.

Not necessarily.

There are still quite a few people gaming with the smaller ones.

Sailpower makes a bunch of them. Check out their website, and Facebook page, by doing a search, and adding in 15mm as well. They offer quite a few vessels, and a nice set of pirate rules.

Hmmmm, for some reason, can't copy the images off of Photobucket to post here, for the Disney ships, but you can see them at the link below:

Every time I move over the img link to copy it in PB, the link disappears. Not sure, but perhaps it is a new PB software "enhancement". Needless to say, I find it quite annoying.

The figs on the decks are 15mm, Peter Pig Pirates, to show the scales of the vessels in relation to them. As you can see, they match up superbly.

For one of the vessels, I removed the rear mast, in order to convert it into a brig.

The anti-spyware scan seems to have fixed the problem.
