Ghost ShipA ghost ship is an unexplained ghostly ship. They are usually ships that have been lost at sea or have been sunk, but somehow mysteriously reappear. Some ghost ships are merely ships that reappear after their crew mysteriously disappears without any explanation or dies by some sea disease. Ghost Ships in RealityPerhaps the most famous of the real ghost ship is the Mary Celeste, a ship that was found abandoned between Portugal and the Azores in 1882, devoid of all crew although the ship was completely intact. Another of this type of ghost ship was the MV Joyita discovered abandoned in the Pacific in 1955. In 2006, the Jian Seng was found off the coast of Australia, and as of 26 March little is known of its origin, or reason for being here. Sailors have reported seeing the sunken steamship SS Valencia floating off the coast of Vancouver Island, often as an apparition that followed them as they sailed down the coast. Her #5 lifeboat was also found floating nearby, unmanned and in remarkably good condition, 27 years after the ship sank. The Ourang Medan is often cited as a ghost ship, although skeptics have an explanation for the crew's death there. The Baychimo was abandoned in the Arctic Ocean in 1931 when it became trapped in pack ice and was thought doomed to sink, but remained afloat and was sighted numerous times over the next 38 years without ever being salvaged. Among the most famous of these ships is the Flying Dutchman and the Mary Celeste. Ghost Ship Web LinksGreat Lakes Ghost Ships Abergele ghost ship The Ghost Ships of Task Force 14: by Jerome M.
