Marchenko, unexperienced in building or operating sail boats, inspired by the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie, has spent his free time constructing the ship over four years to achieve his childhood dreams of building a boat. He also uses the vessel as a mini-hotel for tourists, who wish to spend time in the Siberian Taiga district between the Sayano-Shushenskaya and the Maynskaya hydroelectric power stations.

Filming for “Pirates of the Caribbean 5” has begun in Australia. A new report reveals the first few images from the production set of the movie. The images reveal a massive ship and a village set being built for the movie.

Johnny Depp will be reprising his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in “Pirates of the Caribbean 5.” The first few images from the movie have been revealed by Daily Mail. One of the images from the set reveals a massive ship that the report speculates to be the Black Pearl.

The Black Pearl was the first ship that Jack Sparrow became the captain of. The main plot of the first movie from the franchise revolved around this ship. Captain Barbossa was also seen as the captain of this ship in some of the previous movies from the franchise.

The report points out that there have been rumours about Geoffrey Rush and Orlando Bloom reprising their roles as Captain Barbossa and Will Turner, respectively. There still hasn’t been any official confirmation by the producers that the two actors will be reprising their roles in “Pirates of the Caribbean 5.”

The images from the production set show that the ship is still incomplete and the production team is using cranes and fork lift trucks to build the site. The Australian company Skyreach appears to have been hired to help in building the set.

Another set being built for “Pirates of the Caribbean 5” is that of a village with buildings that have thatched roofs. A few horses were reportedly seen grazing near this set. The village set is being built in the Queensland valley of Maudsland. The report does not reveal the name of the village in the movie.

The report also talks about two new cast members joining the franchise in “Pirates of the Caribbean 5.” The actress Kaya Scodelario, known for her role in the movie “The Maze Runner,” will be joining the cast members. She will be replacing Keira Knightley, who has been playing the role of Elizabeth Swann in the movie franchise.

The other new cast member in “Pirates of the Caribbean 5” is Javier Bardem. The actor is said to play the main villain in the upcoming movie. The movie is set to be released in July 2017.
