These two sailing ship papercraft were created by the Atocha Treasure Company. On the left is the Spanish galleon Nuetstra Senora De Atocha which sank in a hurricane off the coast of Florida in 1622. Modern treasure hunters were able to locate the wreckage and salvage the Atocha's treasure in 1985. On the right is a generic model of a buccaneer pirate ship from the same time period as the Atocha. A low res template for the galleon is posted here while a low res template for the pirate ship is posted here. Pre-printed, high resolution templates may be ordered from the ATC for a price.

Pesky Pirate Paper Toy
The full name of this pirate paper toy is "Pesky Pete Pascoe the Pirate of Penzance". Pete is the work of UK illustrator Trystan Mitchell. I really like Trystan's clean "cartoony" style. This paper toy is not quite all paper as the legs are made out of pencils or wood dowels, but an inventive papercrafter should have no problem rigging up small tubes of paper that will work just as well. The two page template for the pesky pirate is located here.
