“Here we have the Imperial Flagship (the first one that is), something for the Redcoats to sail around in. This is the one place where I feel that the Redcoats have the edge over their blue counterparts, this ship looks much better than the Clipper, it features a better... More placement of sails with respect to the ship as a whole.”

“Compared to its similar-sized predecessor, the 6274 Caribbean Clipper (Sea Hawk), the 6271 Imperial Flagship (Sea Lion) has a much smaller quarterdeck without an enclosed cabin underneath...Due to its sleeker minimalist design compared to the Caribbean Clipper, the Imperial... More Flagship is a less detailed set with fewer pieces including the omission of a figurehead.”

During the 18th century, a peaceful colony of settlers enjoying the island treasures they discovered, suddenly had their serenity interrupted. The invaders were those who called themselves the LEGO SYSTEM? Pirates of the Sea! For years, the Pirates had been searching for the same buried treasures that the settlers were now claiming as their own. This, of course, disturbed the Pirates, as they knew the doubloons (Spanish gold coins) the settlers found had belonged to their ancestors.
Many years ago, a wealthy king summoned the best shipbuilders to design and build what is known as the Imperial Flagship. He called to duty the finest Soldiers to guide his ship on a journey across miles of ocean. Their mission was to retrieve millions of dollars worth of treasure he had hidden on a deserted island. The Soldiers, thinking this an easy task, were not prepared for what was ahead of them.
