Taking another look at the pictures of the pirate ship box, I noticed something.
First of all, that female pirate seems pretty tough, steering the ship and fighting off a captain of the soldiers at the same time.
And second, when the captain is counting the money in the cabin, she seems to be offering him wine. Is she trying to get him drunk so she can get more of the treasure?
This is why I love these old dioramas so much, whoever made them must have had a lot of fun with it.
