Brazilian site RecorteCole has some fun little paper models, including the one pictured to the right, which is a Portuguese style ship called a caravela, similar to the one Pedro Álvares Cabral sailed on in 1500 from Portugal to India, in the process discovering Brazil.  More importantly, though, the site includes a modified model with regular sails and a Jolly Roger skull and crossbones flag to make your own pirate ship!  Try your hand at making either, or make both and stage a mini pirate attack at sea.
