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.

The director of “Pirates of the Caribbean 5” went out “scouting” for a location for a scene near the Great Barrier Reef. The filming for the movie was stopped for about a month after Johnny Depp’s injury.

Filming for “Pirates of the Caribbean 5” is set to resume soon. The director, Joachim Ronning, posted this image on his official Instagram account, stating that he was looking for a spot in the ocean to shoot a scene. The image shows the director travelling on his boat in the ocean, dressed in a T-shirt and shorts.

The director said that he was looking for a place around the Great Barrier Reef for the scene. The Great Barrier Reef hosts the world’s largest coral reef. There are many tropical islands with sandy beaches located there and it has attracted many tourists and film makers across the globe. The site has been listed as one of the World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.

The director of “Pirates of the Caribbean 5” will not be taking advantage of the many underwater attractions that the Great Barrier Reef offers. Instead, the director will be looking to film a scene on top of a ship in the middle of the ocean. Joachim Ronning said in the post that he loved shooting on the ocean.

The director teased that there will be “bigger vessels” in the upcoming movie. Some of the notable ships that have featured in the previous movies from the franchise include the Black Pearl, the Flying Dutchman, the HMS Endeavour and Queen Anne’s Revenge.

The main villains in “Pirates of the Caribbean 5” will be Captain Salazar, played by Javier Bardem, and his ghost pirates. The villain and his crew will escape the Devil’s Triangle in the movie and seek revenge against Jack Sparrow and all the pirates of the world.

Jack Sparrow will have to seek the legendary Trident of Poseidon in “Pirates of the Caribbean 5 to overcome his enemy. Johnny Depp is expected to arrive in Australia next week to resume filming for the movie.
