LEGO 10210 Imperial Flagship

Product Information

Ships were often decorated with gilded carving and scrollwork around the stern. This is called gingerbread. The red ensign is reserved to merchant ships and Australian and New Zealand ships have alternate ensigns for Government (blue), Naval (white) and merchant (red) ships. This image shows HMB Endeavour's Main Course sail and Main Mast. You can see the complex rigging and the reef points in the sail. The Imperial Flagship is a fully-rigged ship: she has three masts - foremast, mainmast and mizzen mast - all of them square-rigged. We fired the cannon one clear morning, midway across the Tasman Sea. I used this opportunity to get some images of a minifig gun-crew in juxtaposition with the real cannon.

All ships have a nationality. Civilian ships have a document which is similar to a passport called a Certificate of Registry. The jib (the foremost staysail on the bowsprit) is not attached to any cords and is instead held aloft by a pole that wouldn't be there on an actual sailing ship. I would like to thank the Professional Crew and Voyage Crew aboard HMB Endeavour for making my journey across the Tasman Sea such an enjoyable experience. Imperial Flagship flies a flag with five equal horizontal alternating stripes of red and white with crossed cannons and a Coronet crown.

Compare this with the model 10210 Imperial Flagship and you can see why I have made the connection.

There several parts unique to this set. In particular the dark brown hull pieces and the cloth sails. Many great LEGO® Ship sets are still not in the market for consumers, especially those based on the LEGO® Cruise Ship theme. However, a few cruise ship companies and individuals have made their cruise ship LEGO® sets. Let’s take a look at each of these excellent LEGO ® ship sets: 1. Maersk Triple-E Container Ship LEGO® Set The sheer joy of building attracts adults and kids to these massively popular construction toys, which are now available in various themes, ranging from cities to trains to robots.

No.There would typically have been a fore-and-aft sail on the mizzen mast but the Imperial Flagship does not include this. You can see the ship is flying the New Zealand Flag - as a courtesy - from the starboard yardarm as the ship was berthed in an NZ port.
