5. The Octavius
Although now considered more legend than anything, the story of Octavius remains one of the most famous of all ghost ship stories. The story dates back to 1775, when it is said that a whaling ship called the Herald stumbled across Octavius floating aimlessly off the coast of Greenland. Crewmembers of the Herald rose Octavius, where they found the bodies of the crew and passengers of all frozen by the arctic cold.
Most notably, the crew discovered the ship's captain was still sitting at his desk, the middle of completing a log entry from 1762, which means that Octavius had been floating for 13 years. According to legend, he eventually discovered that the captain had risked to make a quick return to England from the East through the Northwest Passage, but that ship has become trapped in the ice. If true, this would mean Octavius has completed part of the Atlantic as a ghost ship, its crew and captain of the long dead from exposure to the elements.
4. The Joyita
The Joyita was a fisherman and charter boat was found abandoned in the South Pacific in 1955. Ship, along with 25 passengers and crew, was on his way to the Tokelau Islands when something happens, and it was not until hours later that the Joyita reported late and rescue efforts launched. A massive air search conducted, but failed to find the missing ship, and not until five weeks later that the merchant ship stumble upon Joyita drifting about 600 miles from its original course.
No signs of the passengers, crew, cargo, or a life raft, and the ship was pretty badly damaged and listing to one side. Further examination by the authorities discovered that the ship radio tuned to a universal danger sign, and a search of the deck to find a doctor bag and some bloody bandages. None of the crew or passengers are never seen again, and the mystery of what happened has never been revealed. The most popular theory is that the pirates kill the passengers and threw their bodies into the sea, but other claims, including everything from the insurgency and kidnapping insurance fraud.
3. The Lady Lovibond
Britain has a long tradition of legends about the ghost ship, and the Lady Lovibond is probably the most famous. As the story goes, the Lady Lovibond captain, Simon Peel, recently married, and decided to bring the ship on a cruise to celebrate. He brought his new bride, will take place along the long voyage to the belief that bringing a woman on board a boat is bad luck-and sail on February 13, 1748. Unfortunately for Peel, the first mate is also in love with his new wife, and after watching the celebrations, people become angry and overwhelmed with jealousy and deliberately steer the boat to turn off Goodwind Sands, a sand bar known for causing shipwrecks.
Lady Lovibond sank, killing all passengers. As the legend goes, since the accident Lady Lovibond can be seen sailing in the waters around the Kent every 50 years. This was shown in 1798 by several different boat captain, as well as in 1848 and 1898, when it should seem so real that some of the ships, thinking it was a ship in distress, actually sent the raft to help it. Lady Lovibond again seen in 1948, and while there are no confirmed sightings in the last year in 1998, continues to be one of the most famous ghost ship legend in Europe.
2.The Mary Celeste
Undoubtedly the most famous of all real-life ghost ship Mary Celeste is a merchant ship found homeless and adrift in the Atlantic Ocean in 1872. The ship was in seaworthy condition, with all the screens are still awake and full of food stores in the cargo hold, but his boat, the captain's log book and, more importantly, the entire crew, disappeared mysteriously. No signs of struggle, and personal belongings of crew and cargo of more than 1500 barrels of alcohol was touched, apparently ruling out the possibility of piracy as an explanation. In the years since the bizarre discovery, a number of theories have been proposed about the possible fate of the crew of the Mary Celeste.
These include that their passengers were killed by tornado, that the crew rebelled, or even eating flour contaminated with fungi carry all passengers to hallucinate and become crazy. The most likely theory remains that the storm or some kind of technical problems led prematurely leaving the crew to the ship in lifeboats, and that they later died at sea. However, the mystery surrounding the Mary Celeste has created a lot of wild speculation, and others have proposed everything from sea monsters and ghosts to the kidnapping of foreigners may be the explanation.
1. The Flying Dutchman
Maritime folklore, there is no ghost ship that is more famous than the Flying Dutchman, which has inspired many paintings, horror stories, movies, and even an opera. The ship was first mentioned in the late 1700s in the book George Barrington's Voyage sailors to Botany Bay, and since then his legend continues to grow, thanks to a variety of apparitions by the fishermen and sailors. As a story, the Flying Dutchman is a ship out of Amsterdam dikapteni by a man called Van der Decken. The ship was making its way toward the East Indies in the face of dangerous weather near the Cape of Good Hope.
Determined to intersection, Van der Decken was supposed to be crazy, kill the first mate, and vowed that he would cross the Cape, "even if God will let me sail to Judgement Day!" Despite best efforts, the ship sank in a storm, and as the legend goes, Van der Decken and now a ghost ship doomed to sail the seas forever. To this day, the Flying Dutchman continues to be one of the most-sighted of all ghost ships, and people from the sea fishermen in the Prince of Wales have all claimed to have seen it make a never ending journey across the sea.
