LEGO®, the popular line of construction toys consisting of interlocking plastic bricks (Also called “LEGO® bricks”) that can be assembled and connected in many ways, has drastically expanded its fan base over the last few decades.

Though the initial thoughts of LEGO® indicate a favourite pass time for kids, the rapidly expanding “LEGO® Universe” clearly states that the LEGO®s are not just for kids.

The sheer joy of building attracts adults and kids to these massively popular construction toys, which are now available in various themes, ranging from cities to trains to robots. Nothing is hardly left that has to be converted into a LEGO® set.

If you are from the shipping industry or have an infatuation for floating structures and a particular liking towards LEGO®, there are some super-interesting LEGO® sets that you must check out.

  1. Hi,

    Both the Seawolf Submarine and the US Navy Aircraft carrier are megablocks and not LEGO!
    Besides that the pirateship shows a picture of the Imperial Flagship.

    If you want more interesting ships check out the History LEGO has with Maersk. They first created the Regina Maersk in 1959 as agive-away to retailers (this have not been seen for sale for ages). Next in 1974 they released their for Maersk container liner ship (lego id 1650). Followed indeed in 2004 and 2005 by the 10152 Maersk sealand container schip. In 2006 the same 10152 was released but now with the name Mearsk Line on the side of the ship instead of Maersk Sealand. In 2011 the same ship was released under a different Lego ID nr (10155, as shown in the article above). The latest one is indeed the Maersk Triple-E (legoID 10241).

    Drop me a line if you want more info or pictures.

    Cheers,

    Peter.
