History and details
History and details
The Pirate Ship is not actually themed as a “Pirate Ship”, but a copy of the VOC - merchant Halve Maen of the Dutch East India Co. VOC, the first limited company. The theming for the surroundings of the ride consists of a harbour in the Anton Pieck style. It used to be the largest Pirate Ship in the world at opening, according to the Guinness Book of Records. This record was taken away on March 3rd 1985 by Jumbo Viking at Nagashima Spa Land.
