Avast! That's pirate for "Stop!" So stop already and order your pirate ship model kit. If you're a law-abider, you can get the USS Constitution, aka Old Ironsides, the frigate (now moored in Charlestown, MA) that won the War of 1812, or HMS Victory, upon whose decks Nelson beat the Franco-Spanish fleet, and then died, at Trafalgar (now in dry dock in Portsmouth, England).
These are smallish, but nicely detailed and reasonably complex wooden kits, made for ages 10 and up -- which means complicated enough to be fun to build but simple enough not to make you scream AAAAAARGHH and quit. They are approx 8-1/2" long x 9" tall when assembled, with rigging. They come with good directions; you add the glue and paint or varnish and they're ready for the mantel.
