I is for Ideal Jolly Boat

I've also picked-up this, the Ideal Pirate Ship, recently, a bit sun-faded, but otherwise complete, as far as I know, but I didn't have time to shoot it with figures, so a bit of a box-tick, gets it up here! Hard plastic, probably a polystyrene or polypropylene hybrid of some kind, it has soft polyethylene ratlines and rolled sails.


 
Beached!

 
Fold-out gang-plank!
 
 
Firing cannon.
 



 
It also has a ship's boat, which is similar to the other makers', so there was definitely some homage-copying going on, but who was first?
 
As per the last couple of years, time is of the essence now, I have two more posts to do, but I have to go to work, so whether I get them out before midnight is anyone's guess!
