THE STORY ABOUT THE FICTIVE GHOST SHIP

In 1676, the ship of Captain Willem van der Decken disappeared in a storm, after he proceeded his journey against the wishes of the crew and the weather gods. Since then, he is doomed to sail the seas for eternity and to this day, the story of the ship ‘that flies over the waves’ is told by sailors all over the world.
