Galley Pirate Ship and Blackbeard’s Stage are two of the toys offered at the Pirates! Store. Says the site:
GALLEY PIRATE SHIP
This handcrafted wooden pirate ship features 12 moving pieces including monkey, parrot, gold coin, treasure map and more. Pirate Nathaniel North included.
BLACKBEARD’S STAGE
Sail with Blackbeard on a great adventure in search of vast treasures beneath the sea. Using your magnetic fishing pole, haul up gold coins, gems and riches beyond your wildest dreams. Stow your treasures in the boat’s rear storage compartment. Beware of the fierce shark!
These toys look well crafted, and l’m guessing that they’d be fun for pirates of all ages. Parents are advised, though, that some of the pieces are small and could be swallowed by toddlers. The two toys described here are under $30.
As the site explains, the store was created to support another project:
