Two privateers have been separated from their fleet during a storm and now drift across the sea in a small rowboat. Aboard, they carry valuable jewels they hope to hide on the nearest island, which is just beginning to appear on the horizon. Suddenly, a large shadow falls across the water behind them...

It is the feared galleon that wreaks havoc among the imperial armada. Once an imperial flagship, it was seized by pirates and returned to haunt the empire, earning it the name Revenant. With no chance of escape, the privateers can only hope that surrendering their treasure will earn them the pirates' favor...

The goal of this model was to create a pirate ship in the classic, fantastical LEGO Pirates style while still incorporating elements inspired by real sailing ships. The Revenant is built around a strong Technic core in the upper deck, allowing the entire deck section to be removed for easy access. Several mechanisms allow the cannons to be moved into attack position. In total, the ship features 12 firing cannons and 4 additional brick-built cannons. Check out the video below to see the ship's functions in real life!

The lower deck includes a prison with a skeleton, a table for the crew’s downtime, and a working capstan used to raise and lower the two anchors. Crates filled with plundered goods, along with cannonballs and powder kegs, are stored throughout the decks. The upper deck is accessible via a trapdoor and ladder. Multiple sections toward the stern can be removed to reveal the captain’s cabin, filled with treasure and decorated with a chandelier. On the quarterdeck the ship’s wheel and a navigation table can be found.

The masts have been designed in such a way that it is possible to easily remove the brick-built sails and replace them with custom cloth sails.

Besides the skeleton, the model includes 11 minifigures, one of which serves as the ship’s figurehead. Several animals are also included: a shark, a monkey, a rat, and two parrots.
