However, there were several new LEGO sets released in 2009 that could be considered "Pirate" themed. These include:
* LEGO Kingdoms: This theme featured sets with a medieval pirate theme. One example is the King's Royal Ship (7957) which featured a galleon with a dragon figurehead.
* LEGO Atlantis: This theme, while not directly Pirates, featured underwater exploration and sea creatures, with sets like the Temple of the Squid (8061) and the Aqua Raiders (8060) that could be seen as having some pirate-like elements.
It is worth noting that Lego has released new pirate sets since 2009, but these are part of different themes like LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean (based on the movie franchise) or LEGO Hidden Side (which included some ghost-pirate sets).
So, while 2009 didn't have a specific LEGO Pirates theme, it did feature several sets with pirate elements, and the classic LEGO Pirates line had been discontinued the year before.
