I have been at it for about a month now scouring the web for images of the Disney fictional ship, The Black Pearl. It's a nice looking craft, and supposed to be fast (of course Disney built the ship on top of a real vessel with diesel engines and props for the movie. But, this illustration is for anyones use. It is a compilation of all the available reference images I have found on the internet, which is why it took me so long. Disney would not just give away the proprietary blueprints to the real watercraft, so I had to reverse engineer it from photos. Their are a few things missing from this starboard elevation, that being all of the details of the masts, booms , rigging, ornamental trim pieces, etc. Those I will add later. Next I will do a top view of the ship which will be at the same scale. My hope is that these images will clarify for anyone in detail the accuracy of the fictional ship. Why, I will have to make up the rudder hinges, because I have no reference photos of those, so I have much work ahead of me. Thanks and enjoy folks!
