Pirate News: Pirate Ships Galore

Thank goodness Australians living near the POTC5 set are posting photos of it on Twitter;  otherwise I would have nothing to blog about. 

Recently a couple of set photos showed up on Twitter.  They are of various boats.  Check it out,



You know what's particularly crazy about this?  I can't for certain say that we've seen any of these ships before.  I guess that third one might be the same one we got pictures of exactly one month ago; but I honestly doubt it.  It doesn't look right.

The second picture is clearly some sort of wrecked ship.  The victims of Salazar perhaps?  What it reminds me of most is the wrecked-ship from Dead Man's Chest that Will Turner mistakes for the Flying Dutchman.  It definitely has a similar color scheme, but I doubt there is any relation.

Arguably the most interesting of the three photos is the first; for two reasons.  Firstly:  We get to see part of the flag that the ship is sailing under; and it gives us a few hints as to the nature of the vessel.  That flag has a bird and/or griffin with a crest on it. that much is clear.  And the crest has a castle and some sort of lion on the front of it.  A casual search of the internet revealed no clues as to what country or group this flag could represent;  it looks almost like a combination of a bunch of flags.  

The second point of interest in the first picture is the sailors on the ship.  They're clearly wearing matching uniforms, which tells us that they're probably part of some sort of military;  AKA not pirates.  They're also clearly not members of the British military; so that's unique.  

As much as I love getting more shots from the set, I'm hoping that some juicier info from the movie comes out soon.  I'm dying to know what's going to happen.
