  • Mention ghost ships and a few will always pop into mind. But one of these is so old and so famous that it exists even in the minds of those who have never even gone to sea. A tale so famous it exists in children's tv shows and has even inspired an opera of the same name. The Flying Dutchman needs no introduction, but in case you didn't know it, this is the tale of the Dutch East India Company ship that haunts the seas to this very day.

    If a struggling sailor listens holds high senses they will find a green glow radiating from a wooden vessel with ripped sails and the most morbid condition. If the ship is in a close radius, you can hear the desperate cries of the haunting crew:

      The MV Lyubov Orlova. It was impounded nice 2010 in St. John’s, Newfoundland for two years after it was seized due to its owner owing a charterer $251 000 US. In 2012 it was sold to a new company to be broken up for scrap metal.
      While it was being towed from St. John’s Harbour to the Dominican Republic the tow cable snapped, and the weather was too bad for the tug to reconnect.
      It’s been bobbing around the North Atlantic ever since, and is believed to have sunk some time in 2013, after drifting within 2 400 kilometres of Ireland.
      The Billy Talent song *Ghost Ship of Cannibal Rats* is named after rumours about the MV Lyubov Orlova.

    The story that i was told from childs age, and i was raised in the Netherlands, was that the ship was in harbor, and that the captain wanted to sail during a christian holiday, easter i believe. Everyone, even his crew, told him not to sail, for he needed to be pious that day. Yet he sailed. And now untill this day he still sails, waiting for the day that he will return to his faith.

    I've heard tales of the Flying Dutchman being a curse to landlubbers, too! Once she is seen by somebody from the shore, they will never get the winning numbers correctly.. every number will be merely one.. digit.. off. If you pick a 4, the number will come up 3 or 5; 17 will turn up 16 or 18, and so on.
    That's why I still can't win ye olde Powerball. Yarr.

    Tiny point, but George want Prince of Wales when he saw the Dutchman. He wasn't even Duke of York yet, his father was Prince of Wales (his grandmother Victoria was still alive) and his older brother -- I believe was Duke of York. I don't know that he had any title at that point. He became Duke of York after his older brother died and Prince of Wales after his father ascended you the throne on Victoria's death.
    Now, his older brother, the heir apparent, was also there at the sighting and he died young...
