Pirate Harbor 

Ahoy Matey! Pirate adventures await at the Pirate Harbor. While this harbor looks like only a docking station for large pirate ships, hidden underneath you will find a pirate’s prison. Here you can use the trap door to secure mischievous pirates or giant sharks. In the crow’s nest, an alarm is immediately sounded in case of danger. Guard the harbor against these enemy intruders by using the skull cannon that releases glow-in-the-dark skulls and the large rotating barrel. Be on the lookout! The large pier collapses if a shark or sea monster rams the pier support. Combine this set with other pirate-themed playsets for even more swashbuckling fun! The set includes two pirates, shark, flag, ladder, crane boom, three barrels, barrel holder, and many other accessories.
