These stories are good, I only moved to the island in the last couple of years and you show me things I wonder about or didn’t even know about.

I saw Prince Edward interviewed about this and he said about one moment the ship was there and then it was gone. 👍

I would like more stories please. Did Sir Winston Churchill live there long.

[@WightWanderer]

Then I shall do more. 🙂
Apparently his family had a holiday home in Ventnor, not sure how long they lived there though.

I have seen the ghost ship, not once but twice..no one is on deck , crewless. Sails in full sail, yet make no sound..1st time I saw her was a lovelly summers day. From a cliff top, looked right down into her. No one one deck which for an old ship os dangerous, no one at the helm. Before the days I carried a mobile phone! Second time she was a bit further away.

Where did you see her from?
