LEGO set 4184, Black Pearl, represents the ship from Pirates of the Caribbean within the Disney theme.

Black Pearl sits in the Pirates of the Caribbean branch of the Disney theme and focuses on the ship that gives the set its name. The model presents a dark pirate vessel in LEGO form, making the ship itself the main subject rather than a small scene or accessory build.

This lineup gives the model a strong character component, while the ship provides the setting for crew scenes, confrontations and display arrangements connected to the licensed world.

It is suited to Pirates of the Caribbean collectors, LEGO ship enthusiasts and builders who want a model that can work both for display and story based play.
