The Pirate Ship Aquarium

This is the child’s pirate ship aquarium that replaces live fish with motorized aquatic creatures that swim autonomously within its transparent, sturdy plastic hull. Only available from Hammacher Schlemmer, the aquarium takes on the form of a sunken, decaying pirate sloop lost to history and holds up to three gallons of water, accessed easily by human hands through gaps in its partially intact upper deck for “feeding” a barrel of skeletal fish to the included motorized clown fish and zombie shark that swim back and forth. Two cannons fixed to port that once blasted holes in lesser ships “fire” without projecting their permanent eel and skeleton occupants. Three former crewmembers haunt the decks, one of whom still holds a bottle of grog—an anchor switch below the mast launches a figure in the crow’s nest overboard when tripped by a swimming fish. A rubber band-powered trap door on the aft deck sends would-be treasure seekers to a watery grave. Assembly required. Requires four AAA batteries. Ages 4 and up. 26" L x 10" W x 20" H. (4 1/2 lbs.)
