Getting your player ready...
The three children in the Vigil family, 8-year-olds Aniston and Aubrey and 5-year-old Austin, have something every kid would want: their own pirate ship.
The three kids’ dad, Shawn Vigil, and grandfather, Jacob Vigil, built the 13-foot-tall, 20-foot-long pirate ship together, using mostly free materials they could find.
The ship now sits in a vacant lot, across the street from Jacob’s house in Johnstown, attached to a boat trailer. This weekend they’ll try it out in the water, but they’re a little concerned whether it will: 1. Float; 2. Stand upright in the water.
