Flying Dutchman

Legendary ghost ship

The Flying Dutchman (Dutch: De Vliegende Hollander, Afrikaans: Die Vlieënde Hollander) is a legendary ghost ship, allegedly never able to make port and doomed to sail the sea forever. The myths and ghost stories are likely to have originated from the 17th-century Golden Age of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and of Dutch maritime power. The oldest known extant version of the legend dates from the late 18th century.
