Here's one of the things I get up to at weekends. This was a big model exhibition. I had a few of mine on display. None of them were nautical; I do have some ships but I don't have a real car, so I have to carry the models while travelling by bus, and my ships would probably not have survived the journey. So I took some aircraft instead:

There were some ships on display, though no sailing ships this year. Among them, although rather modern, one of these might interest @Pieter Boelen:

But I recognised the name on this one. Robert Fulton is one of our playable FreePlay characters, and a real-life Captain Nemo if this is anything to go by:

For comparison, the film version of Nautilus:

There were signs warning people not to touch the models. Some were rather more forceful than others:

But for me, though not a subject which would normally interest me, this fairground was the most impressive thing on display:

One other item might be of interest. In "Woodes Rogers", you can talk to Blackbeard's head. Here it is:
