In addition to a detachable rowing boat and a first-of-its-kind waterline effect,

"It was a kind of trying to balance between what shape will the textiles hold over time, how we will connect them to the model, and how we'll be able to build all the different masts'"
However, Mike eventually went further with the look of
“The thing that I am very proud of with the sails is that initially, when we started talking about them, I thought, we can't make them totally shredded, like you see in the cursed version of the ship,” Mike elaborated.
“But I still thought, okay, it's a pirate ship, and maybe we can give some of that feeling through adding some holes, some patterning. Then I had this idea – is there a way that we could put holes in the sails so it looks like they got shot by a cannon ball?”
“So this hole lines up with this hole, which then lines up with this hole,” added Mike. “It doesn't seem that neat, but it's actually quite a funny challenge to try to figure out how to make that all work, repeating the same sails and then mapping them in different ways so that they would all match and line up. That's probably my favourite feature, if I'm honest.”
