Large Pirate Ship (Size of Carribean Clipper) A big ship which is loading with more cannons than it looks like it should have, ragtag decor... you know the deal

Numerous different shapes, patterns, and designs of cloth sails (in fact, these were some of the first pieces made of cloth to ever appear in sets!) and later cloth flags. I've tried, at length, by my usual methods of research and haven't come up with anything half so specific as I'd need. There seems to be plenty of information about a decade or more too late for my purposes, but I'm trying to create a certain environment as it bares upon the story I'm trying to tell through my MOCs, collectively. The ethnicity wouldn't matter much. Most regiments were already diverse, and the specific ones, such as Highland regiments, got shipped all over the place so I don't think the location of your island would necessarily determine the ethnic makeup of the troops. A majority of officers I believer would be English and Welsh, unless you had highland troops, who were often, but not always, led by Scottish officers. Some work may hint that the Bluecoats are simply another division / class within the large empires forces? Or is this just the work of ignorant builders (like me) meddling in the great conflict?

Top leaf holders (known more for their use in palm trees) were utilized in a variety of colors for various lamps and other decorative items Maybe I can add some clarification, I am a naval historian... There are two thoughts on the American uniforms, but in 1803 was when congress finally set a standard of Blue and Gold. The first thought was that blue was chosen because France wore blue also... but since the United States was involved in a quasi war with France in 1797 when the first actual regulations were written (in fact the whole American Navy was re founded that year to fight French commerce raiding) this is unlikely. The second thought is probably more likely, British officers wore blue coats. Every navy in the world wanted to be as up to date and as powerful as the Royal Navy. Emulation happened around the globe. It is likely that the United States copied the Royal Navy. Lastly, American Marines also wore blue coats, but they were much darker than the ones that Lego figs wear. By the style of dress, I would say that the redcoats would be British and the Bluecoats French during the 7 years war period. That is only if we HAVE to assign a nationality. If Lego doesn't want to use real world nations anymore, they could just make a generic "Imperial Power" group, which would just HAPPEN to look exactly like the British/French/Spanish. LoL

Hello, please forgive my grave ignorance on the matter of redcoats vs bluecoats, but I need to clarify this to avoid blunders in the future.

LEGO IDEAS

I think it would be incredible if Lego released some Quality pirate sets. They could either have the French/British/Spanish, although the British or French would make the most sense, as I believe the Spanish's power was sinking in the Carribean by the mid 1700's(I could be TOTALLY wrong... if I am please correct me :D ) Six different hull pieces in a variety of different color combinations (examples of the large size of the bow, stern, and middle) Hmmm, I think (in the event that I should get imperial vessels) that I'd end up treating it one of two ways:
