I guess the Götheborg is better than the Flying Dutchman or the Black Pearl.

That'd be pretty fucking cool.

Imgur has always been very repeat post heavy. It's getting a bit ridiculous how many we're seeing hit the front page in the last few weeks, though.

When your Uber arrives and it’s The Black Pearl.
withfrigginlasers
They would definitely have tons of spare lines to tow with. I'd break my boat just to get this kind of experience.

That's a whole lot of badass right there

You ever heard the saying “an ocean of pussy”? That’s what it’s sailing in.
swatz
I might be a little scared at first... but after that oh shit it's pirates moment passes, it'd just be amazing!
motoalchemist
what ever happen to annual "talk like a pirate day" anyway?
711isAnInsideJob
Stuck at sea and need a tow? Why not Götheborg?
TCGView
You wanted the Coast Guard but got One-Eyed Willy instead.
WillemHellfire
Fuckin' awesome, man!
TheGiantIdiotTeddyBear
A ship! Alas, were saved!!!! *PotC theme playing on loop*

I want to imagine that at least one person on the sailboat looked at the compass and wondered what was going on.
cantspellmanslaughterwithoutlaughter
Imagine if this was at night...and it emerged from a fog...Flying Dutchman.
WoodORama
I hope that ship emerged through a thick fog and made the people on the sailboat think they had time traveled through a wormhole.
unreal669
Well at least there'd be Rum.
straha242
It wasn't quite as friendly when it came by me...
orbitn
To be honest, you do have that kind of face that says "Fire a full cannonade at me".
swedeonamoose
Well did you wear any colours that might have made them mistake you for a Dane, Pole or Russian ?
TheNamiKage
Man if I was the captain of Göthenborg, I wouldn't have radio im on my way just shown up and had the crew do old timey voices. Play like they've gone back in time for as long as we could.
NightOwlRally
Just drift up to them while belting out "WAYYY HEYYY AND UP SHE RISES...♪ "
usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
And a man with an eye-patch and a parrot said "Arrrr", and threw me a line. I was a bit skeptical.
NappaTheFriendlyGhost
I will be sorely disappointed if the captain of this ship does not have the most majestic of mustaches

Which bears the question: *could* they have flown the Jolly Rodgers, just as a lark, or would have that had unwanted maritime law implications.
bladderinfection
I’m pretty sure if I saw a Jolly Roger on the high seas I would laugh my ass off. A tattered boat with a .50 caliber mounted on the bow, that’s the real danger these days.
cyberimg
Yeah obviously. But I just wonder if there may be maritime laws and customs that no-one bothered or remembered to annul in the last say 300 years. Like a protocol for ransom negotiations, or one is now allowed retaliatory expeditions against he harbor hosting the pirates.
cyberimg
Don't forget: Pirates, or at least their cousins buccaneer and privateers, were often state sponsored by opposing countries, so there may well have been something like like rules. Or at least guidelines. Suggestions really.
halo00to14
You know... because of the implications.
stayingalive4life
It’s all fun and games until the Thousand Sunny shows up…then it becomes a party.
dontfloatmygoat
Surely you were piratical?
VibratingNipples
and it runs on wind power
swedeonamoose
and 2-4 help engines if i remember right.
CompressedInfo
Technology really is marvelous these days
Lithens
I heard ships are going back to that now
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
1,000hp of diesel, too.
mantabloke
mostly for getting in and out of port so they don't have to be towed in / out
ljj4
Stupid question, but how did ships like that get into port before engines? Or were the ports designed differently too?
SlyeFox
Vary carefully and with lots of skill.
