Legend
The Flying Dutchman
The Flying Dutchman is the legend of a ghost ship. According to the legend, the
Flying Dutchman is cursed to never dock a port, and it is also doomed to sail in the
oceans forever. It is likely that the legend has originated from the nautical folklore of
the 17th century. The oldest surviving version of this legend dates back to the late
18th century. During 19th and 20th centuries, there were reports of sighting the
ship as a hull glowing with ghostly light. When another ship tried to contact, the
crew from the Flying Dutchman tried to send messages to land or to the people
dead long ago. According to the lore, the viewing of the Flying Dutchman happens
to be an omen of doom.
