Disneyland Pirate Ship Restaurant Paper Model

It’s here! It’s here! You can finally build the Disneyland Pirate Ship Restaurant paper model!

This gorgeous paper model is a replica of Disneyland’s Chicken of the Sea Pirate Ship restaurant, which once sat in a small lagoon—complete with Skull Rock (1960)—in Fantasyland from 1955 to 1982. It was designed after Captain Hook’s pirate ship, the Jolly Roger, from the animated feature “Peter Pan.” It was originally sponsored by Chicken of the Sea, and the restaurant was well known for its tuna sandwiches and tuna-themed meals. In 1969, the restaurant’s name changed to Captain Hook’s Galley when the sponsorship was lost. Even the ship’s color scheme changed.

When the New Fantasyland was being constructed in 1981, the pirate ship was supposed to be moved to the Small World Promenade. But, the aging ship couldn’t be moved due to its concrete foundation, and there was neither the time nor the budget to build a new one. When the New Fantasyland opened in 1983, the pirate ship had returned to Neverland.

Since the restaurant was known by two different names, that is why the paper model is simply named the “Pirate Ship Restaurant.” We plan to create future mods so that you can build the Captain Hook’s Galley version.
