10 The Flying Dutchman
Yes well kick off this list with boat who the famous spongebob character is named after.
It would be amazing if you guys could hit up the comments and leave me a ton of your
favourite spongebob memes.
But in real life the flying dutchman isnt a ghost of some dude and davy jones locker
isnt a locker full of stinky socks.
The flying dutchman was a real boat and it was famously captained by Van Der Deckan and
he was trying to sail his way to the East Indies with his trusty crew.
The old school sailor life would have been amazing, except for all the pirates and scurvy
and drowning to death.
Well on their way they hit a massive storm at the cape of good hope and even though Vander
Deckan had one of the finest crews around they were not able to make it through the
storm.
Now its said that the ghosts of the crew and ship are cursed to sail the waters for the
rest of time and 100s of fishermen have said that theyve spotted the ship in the ocean
fog.
9 Governor Parr
Alright on this one we have something that is a little less exciting than a boat that
is directly connected to one of the greatest cartoons of all time.
But Governor Parr has its own charm.
This ship was thrown together in 1918 and the world was never that sweet to it.
It was constantly under repairs and in 1923 the ship was hit by such a large storm that
it was nearly ripped apart.
It was left unusable and the captain was killed.
This left a crew stuck on board the boat with no way to get around but luckily they were
found.
The Governor Parr was attached to a rescue vessel and they started a tow, but not long
after that the tow line was broken and the ship was lost forever.
No one knows where the boat drifted off to but some people think the ghostly captain
is still on board, refusing to leave the ocean.
But realistically it sunk to the bottom of the ocean.
8 MV Joyita
What makes a ghost boat a ghost boat does it have to be missing from all of humanity,
only to ever be seen through ocean fog.
Or could it be a boat where the crew all went missing out of nowhere.
Well if your unsure just look in here, touch heart, this will tell you if its a real ghost
boat or not.
And I think this one makes the cut.
The MV Joyita was found in 1955 with no crew and very little clues as to where everyone
went.
The dinghys and the log book were all missing, there is a chance that the crew took off,
the ship was also damage so this supports the theory that the crew would abandon the
ship.
But what makes this one so strange is that the people on board didnt need to bail on
the Joyita.
The boat was lined with cork and had fuel containers on board.
With all theses extremely buoyant items the ship was pretty much unsinkable, so why did
the crew abandon ship?
And what happened to them?
There were also some blood covered rags on boards meaning that they could have been attacked
by pirates or injured by a storm.
7 Zabrina
This is such a beautiful name for a ghost boat now isnt it.
If I was getting on a boat named zabrina the last thing I would expect is all of the people
on board to die and there be zero explanation as to why.
Well I guess Names can be deceiving because this cute little boat was a transport vessel
for over 40 years, she was built in 1873 and in 1917 she was set sail through the south
of france probably to transport a bunch of croissants or something.
Maybe not, I could imagine a worse way to transport soft flake break then on a boat
built in 1873, all you would get delivered in a bunch of wet piles of slop and butter
soaked tears.
Well for whatever reason Zabrian was found floating around in the south of france with
no crew, no captain and no explanation as to why everyone was gone, the ship was in
pretty good condition so it wouldnt make sense that everyone just got up and left.
The theory is that a German u boat snuck up on them and then took the whole crew as prisoners,
but other people think that the crew is still out there sailing around on a ghost boat.
6 Lady Lovibond
This is a dirty story of betrayal and nothing gets ghost more worked up than having someone
stab them in the back.
Well legend has it that this boat was set to sail in 1748, they were going to do this
as a way to celebrate the captains upcoming wedding.
What a nice celebration it must have been for him.
Like congrats dude, why dont you drive all your friends around a little bit, nothing
like working at your own party.
Well one of the captains friends was in love with his wife and he was super jealous, god
damn this is some good tea.
So what did he do, did he try to steal his friends lady when they were all out on the
water, no.
Did he try to poison the captain and then throw his body overboard so no one would know
what happened to him, no.
He took control of the ship and sailed it into the goodwin sands, killing everyone on
board.
My god dude I think there could have been a better way to handle this.
But still amazing tea, this gossip is spicy.
Now its said you can still see the boat sailing around the crash site.
5 Jian Seng
The Jian Seng was a giant transport tanker that was discovered of the cost of south west
queensland.
When the ship was boarded it seemed that whatever group of people were on this boat left a long
time ago.
The ship was extremely run down and the engines were shot but the weirdest thing is that name
plates and identifiers were removed from the boat.
Like whoever was on the boat, or whoever was the cause of everyone going missing, didnt
want anyone to find out where this boat was going or why.
The only thing the people searching the ship could find was a ton of rice.
This is how they were able to determine that it was a transport vessel.
While aboard the search party said the could hear strange voices and there was a constant
presence that made them feel like they were being watched.
No company, country or person ever came forward to claim the boat so when it was determined
that this ship had no home she was sank.
Damn dude they dont even strip it for parts, just chuck her down to the bottom of the ocean.
4 The Octavious
Good old Auto Octavious just trying to take down spider man in pirate form.
Actually is that a think, if there is an alternate universe spiderman comic where hes a pirate
please hook me up with a link to that.
That sounds like the perfect combination of dumb and cool that makes my brain happy.
Well unfortunately this story has nothing to do with spider man.
This boat was found off the coast of Greenland in 1775, it was just drifting along because
the entire crew had froze to death.
The whole boat was just packed full of icey zombies frozen in place.
Well dont get the wrong impression they werent walking around zombies, I just mean they were
dead.
One of the creepies parts of the whole thing is the captain.
He froze to death at his desk trying to fill out a captains log from 1762, That means this
boat had a pack of flash frozen jack sparrows just hanging out on deck for over a decade.
3 Carroll A Deering
I wonder who gets the job of naming all the boats, because some of them are dope but this
one stinks.
Carol A Deering, she sounds like she pencil cases and complains about how pepper has a
lot of kick to it.
Well this poorly named boat was transporting some coal from virginia to brazil like a good
old working boat.
It made the trip there alright but something happened on the way back.
The boat disappears and then was found abandoned off the coast of North Carolina.
The lifeboats were gone as well as the crews belongings but it was never explained as to
what happened to everyone on board.
2 The Caleuche
Heres a well named boat, Caleuche sounds like a dance you do when you want to win the heart
of your soulmate while simultaneously slapping a man to death.
Well this boat is part of the aboriginal Chilean mythology.
Its said that every night this boat will form off the coast.
Apparently the boat is one massive party, it carries the souls of all the people who
drowned at sea to the after life.
That would be a great time, everyones dead and heading to heaven, its like when you get
super drunk on the plane when your heading out on vacation.
Vacation starts early baby!
1 Mary Celeste
All right now we have la creme de la creme of ghost ships.
It is of course the Mary Celeste.
This boat is one of the most famous stories of ghost ships floating around out in the
middle of the ocean.
It was 1872 when Mary was supposed to make a trip from New York to Genoa.
She was carrying a tone of booze, it was around 1500 barrels of booze.
Enough to give every frat house in america alcohol poisoning.
But Sweet mary never made it to the end of her trip.
She was spotted off the coast of portugal.
A ship went to go investigate and much to their surprise there wasnt a single soul on
the boat.
The lifeboats were gone but the ship was completely intact, along with all the booze.
So where did everyone go, well know one knows thats why this is a list
of ghost ships.
