>>10942157>I refuse to believe Captain Ironhook is not just Captain Redbeard wearing a different shirt.They are 2 different guys leading 2 different pirate crews. For me he's more like 'realistic' pirate while Redbeard is stereotypical pirate from movies etc.
Ironhook's flagship is Renegade Runner, which is closer to real sailing vessels pirates used. Fun trivia - they in fact used small, fast and nimble vessels over big ships as these smaller ones could reach shallow waters and navitage through tigh spots. Renegade Runner is the most realistic pirate ship LEGO ever made. Small, but still spacious enough for crew and loot.
Also lego confirms they are 2 different guys. Here's a proof (Japansese LEGO Pirates commercial) where Ironhook and Redbeard fight over treasure.

>"Captain Ironhook is the second main Pirates captain in theLEGO Pirates theme. His red, black, and white clothes are more ripped up then the other two, and not as neat. He and his pirates were the first to encounter the Islanders. He can also represent pirate renegades faction."http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/Captain_Ironhook
