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 which centuries later merged into Unilever. The theming for the surroundings of the ride consists of a harbour in the Anton Pieck style.
It is the largest Pirate Ship in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records.
