Pirate Fiesta Assembly

The Pirate Fiesta is held together by gravity, all pieces slot together.  There are only 4 bolts in the construction.  No piece on the ship is longer than 48".  The trusses seen in the picture above slot together and the forks for the wheels slot up into steel housings.  The poles rising up from the deck of the ship simply slot down into their individual fittings.

The Pirate Fiesta has rolled in dozens of parades and events.

The beaming smiles of these youngsters tell the story of the fun 

they're having aboard the Pirate Fiesta.

The little aboard the ship know one of it's main rules.  

Can you tell what action they have taken 

that they both have in common?

 We need to impress into service some help to pull the ship.

Yo Ho Ho, the Pirate Fiesta is fun to ride.   

 A couple of the crew took home swords.  Everyone that
survived a voyage got a Pirate Fiesta patch.

The crew had to ring the bell to alert traffic we were on the way.

 The Pirate Fiesta stops for some refreshments.
