ideas for pirate birthday cake?

I am having someone make Aiden's birthday cake.  I have googled and found some cakes- but nothing I love.  Any suggestions for a pirate themed cake?  (I have seen cakes in the shape of treasure chests and ships....and cakes decorated with pirate things.)  Anyone have any great pics of pirate cakes?  THANKS!!

    Here is a blog with pirate parties, it just has cupcakes, but maybe I will help with giving you some more ideas.

    Okay, this is not a GREAT cake at all, but it was easy to make and a hit with the kids that I made it for. It would have been better if I had a bit more time, but I was in a rush. Here are the pics:

    I did 1 cake mix in 2 circular pans, and 1 in 2 square pans. I iced between the 2 circle cakes and put them together, and then cut a section out so that they made the boat shape. I also cut the bottom part off so it was flat bottomed. I used wooden shish kabob skewers in the bottom and slid the boat part on top. I also ended up icing the whole board blue. You can see in the second pic that the front started cracking a bit - I would definitely recommend making the cakes the day before you need to, and putting them in the fridge. I waited a few hours between baking and icing, but it would have been better if they were cold. The freezer would do, too, I think. I also forgot to bring the sail that I made with me, so I had to improvise and draw one on a napkin! LOL - the kids didn't really care too much though. So, even though mine didn't turn out all that great, the idea of how to do it is there...

    Good luck!

    Thanks!  I actually just found a cake that is cute---at Publix.  Still would like to have someone make one instead of getting it at the store.  :)
