Inc. recently built and delivered 56 foot pirate ship
Royal Conquest to Buccaneer Adventure Cruises of St. Petersburg,
Florida. The three-masted motor vessel was designed by naval

ship, and is certified to carry 46 passengers on protected routes and 38
passengers on partially protected waters.
Royal Conquest was designed to Lloyd's Rules for wood and composite
construction and is constructed of double-planked epoxy saturated
plywood over Douglas fir and White Oak framing. The entire hull was
sheathed with fiberglass epoxy laminate. The superstructure and bulwarks
are planked with white cedar.
