[James Bragg]

Brilliant!
Its almost on par with the Urban Pirate's good vessel 'Fearless' that pillages vessels in the vicinity of Baltimore harbour in the Chesapeake - here is a link :

And in true American style it has to have some serious horse power - twin Volvo 225 hp duo-props (on a pirate ship?) and even a bow thruster.... after seeing that splendid pirate ship Gypsy Rose being transformed from a humble Carver, I am thinking that there might be a 50' Bertie (or Carver) lurking inside the Urban Fearless......
