Steve's LEGO Blog
“It was never made clear if this set was a Falcon set or not, the figs do not have the Falcon printing (just the regular chainmail) and they wear grey helms but they do have a single shield.”
Full review at legosteveblog.blogspot.com
Brickipedia
“This is the first LEGO Castle boat that includes actual oars instead of spears. The only weapon on board is a crossbow. The boat's cargo consists of a barrel filled with two yellow round plates that act as gold coins.”
Full review at brickipedia.fandom.com
Classic-Castle
“This ship is the focus of controversy and speculation because the crossbowman has a yellow black falcon shield while the set name, color scheme, and figures are related to the Black Monarchs. The relationship between the Black Monarch and Black Falcon factions still is not... More clear.”

Dragon Ship.

It was a dark and stormy night... – the luminous ghost appeared just as the old clock struck 12. Robin and his friends ran for their secret cave while the Knights secured the drawbridge and closed the Black Fortress with its hinged walls. And yet… it was just a very friendly ghost!
