You might have seen the film, Ghost Ship, but not might
be aware that ghost ships have existed for centuries.
Like the movie, some ghost ships are fictional, while
others are real. We have provided links to pictures and
stories about ghost ships below.
Some ghost ships are usually believed to be crewed
by the dead, while some ghost ships are real ships
that have disappeared or sunk tragically. Yet, other
ghost ships are still afloat today, but believed haunted
by ghosts, such as the Queen Mary and the USS
Lexington. Also of interesting note, real ghost ships
such as the Mary Celeste, Baychimo, MV Joyita and
the Jian Seng were found sailing the seas with no crew!
Fictional ghost ships in literature appeared in the
1700's in books such as The Rime Of The Ancient
Mariner - the most famous ghost ship being The
Flying Dutchman.

This millennium has brought
ghost ships back into people's
minds, as movie makers are
making famous The Black Pearl
and The Flying Dutchman in the
Disney trilogy The Pirates of the
Caribbean. Fans of the movies
can watch the ghost ships go to
battle in the third installment,
which has spawned all sorts of
children's playsets and games.
Of note, the Black Pearl had one
of the scariest ghost ship crews in
the first movie, as they were truly
a "skeleton crew." The second
film had the Flying Dutchman
filled with all sorts of sea creature
crewmen as a truly unique and
unbeatable ghost ship. The third
movie pitted both ghost ships
against one another, but then
brought the ghost ships together
in battle against a British armada.
