Blackbeard's Playhouse

Offered only by Hammacher Schlemmer, this is the pirate playhouse that evokes the dreaded frigate captained by William Teach, also known as Blackbeard—Queen Anne’s Revenge. The 13 1/2'-tall backyard vessel is constructed of marine grade mahogany and cedar posts that beckon seafaring scallywags and marauding maidens to plunder the Spanish Main. Festooned with golden-hued skulls and a hand-painted battle scar finish, the ship provokes pirate-age fun with a lower and upper deck complete with separate helms and a captain’s quarters at the stern for storing swag and charting future courses. Its main deck provides an aspiring privateer with a three mounted cannons that play realistic sound effects and a platform for fencing while repelling boarders. A crow’s nest towers over the deck displaying Calico Jack Rackam’s Jolly Roger flag and a pair of red and white striped sails. A wooden bridge connects the ship to a bowed slide for easy ship abandonment, and supports a pair of swings for sea-weary buccaneers. With working lanterns and a built-in sound system pre-loaded with cannon sounds and music. Included USB stick enables custom MP3 uploads. Plugs into AC with a 50' cord. Special conditions and guarantee limitations apply. 22' L x 17' W x 13 1/2' D. (2,600 lbs.)
