There once was a real ship named Black Pearl captained by Henry Morgan, one of the world’s most notorious pirates. The Black Pearl which first sailed in 1669 fought many battles; the most famous of which was an invasion in Panama in 1671. The following year Captain Morgan was put in prison in England. Years later he returned to Jamaica as a judge and governor. Henry Morgan died in England in 1688 after a long illness.

The Black Pearl model kit is a challenging build, rated for experienced modelers or those eager to test their skills. The included instructions are clear and concise, guiding you step-by-step through the assembly process. However, I highly recommend having a good pair of needle-nose pliers and wire cutters on hand – they'll make bending and shaping the delicate metal pieces much easier. Don't rush the process; take your time, study the diagrams, and enjoy the meditative rhythm of bringing this iconic ship to life. Remember, this isn't a race, it's an artistic endeavor! And, believe me, when you have issues, just walk away and revisit, it's worth it.

Once assembled, the Black Pearl measures approximately 5.75 inches long, 1.75 inches wide, and 4.5 inches tall.

The gleaming steel finish catches the light beautifully, highlighting the intricate details of the hull, masts, and rigging.
