Gingerbread Pirate Ships, redux

Look! Another pirate gingerbread boat! OK, maybe not necessarily a pirate ship, but pretty impressive, a little more seafaring perhaps, compared to ours. We'll let you decide which is better. This one does have nice railings, dolphins, and ginger mer-man on the bow, but it's lacking in cannons, peg-legged pirates, and solar panels. It's from the annual gingerbread house competition at the Carolina Inn in Chapel Hill. There are some pictures of some of the other ones we liked up on my Picassa page.

Also, there are some pretty ridiculous, Food Network-caliber examples in the video below, showing some winners from the National Gingerbread House Competition at Asheville, NC's Grove Park Inn. Pretty amazing, but still no peg-legged pirates, treasure chests, or malicious septopuses.
