Pirate ship Buccaneer of the Caribbean model kit from manufacturer Occre
History of the original:
In the 17th and 18th centuries, the slow decline and subsequent disappearance of pirates led to legends of hidden treasures and great adventures at sea. Pirates and buccaneers were remembered as kings of the seas. They were mainly active in the Caribbean on the trade routes between America and Europe. Pirates boarded merchant ships and plundered coastal towns, while buccaneers captured smaller merchant ships and were involved in smuggling and the slave trade.
The Buccaneer model ship is based on one of the ships that sailed on privateering voyages at that time. With this model boat, you can discover one of the darkest chapters in maritime history.
