In this first of two nautical episodes, Sean introduces us to three of history’s eeriest ghost ships.

First, the Flying Dutchman sets the stage (and sails) for all ghost ships to come. Then, the passengers and crew of the Mary Celeste vanished on the way across the Atlantic, leaving no trace behind. Finally - the steamship Valencia meets a watery grave, only to find its way into local legends.

Come back next week for some phantom ships (or phantom crews) of the 20th century!
