Question of Jackrackam (03.29.2016): Hello! Can you tell me which style of ship is closest to the Black Pearl?
A: The Black Pearl, from the movie Pirates of the Caribbean, like the Flying Dutchman, was partly inspired by Dutch flutes of the seventeenth century, and particularly in Vasa (or Wasa), a famous Swedish warship.

The Vasa was too ornate, and its bad ship stability, and work had reduced it to much too short. O the day of his inauguration to the Stockholm harbour in 1628 a gust of wind had made history for the ship - the wind brought water to rush through the portholes of the lower battery and the ship sank…
