Emphasis on boat.
Small picture for a small set that is actually deceptively big because of all the big parts. True juxtaposition in action.

Just because it's the biggest rowboat doesn't mean it's not still a rowboat.
It's got a scorpion figurehead 'cause they couldn't afford a crab
I love the sails Captain Kragg's sets had. Black and blue with a skull and sword still looks really striking and aggressive.
"Kragg?" Is this guy connected somehow to the Kragle?
I feel like a one man piratical operation is not going to go as smoothly as he thinks

I still don't see an oar in this.

Or Krang?
I like how it built out features that make it a bit more of a ship instead of a sloop, although it's too small to be one of course. Btw, that hull is the larger one from Belville, not the regular one from Pirates.
This now reminds me of the Life and Times of Captain Redbeard, a youtube series chronicling the lore about Redbeard. ALL of it, including the most insane sources. It's hilarious. I believe Kragg was mentioned as his brother and one of his many enemies.
Some more pictures of the set:

Just checked the parts inventory over on Rebrickable (since the inventory from Lego.com isn't one hundred percent complete) and nope, no oar.
Captain Kragg is an abomination, but I do like his boat. I would happily pirate his boat, but I wouldn't even Kragle the Captain.
Sorry, my dude. You're not even going into the Bin of Shame with the weirder Vidiyo-figures; you're going straight into the garbage-bin.
Avast! I had this set when it be new! It be shivering my timbers to see you all disparage one of my beloved childhood sets! 'Tis true, she ain't much to look at, but she be mine, and that be all that matters to this old sea dog. After all, all any sailor worth his hardtack needs is a tall ship and a star to sail 'er by. To be honest with ye, I actually be thinking about 'repurposing' this here set for another Captain of a more normal variety... but that is my secret as to who I'll be giving her to - so don't ye be asking, for dead men tell no tales!

Just because you lost the oars doesn’t suddenly make it not a rowboat.

Well, if you look at Captain Jack Sparrow and, at one or two times, he had just a boat and now he has his own Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Ship! Sm

Ah, disappointing. Dead men may tell no tales, but undead ones can tell you ones that will shiver your timbers.

Any old salt worth his... salt... would know that this isn't a tall ship. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tall_ship
