The southern seas of Africa are among the most treacherous in the world. Circumnavigating the continent was especially risky for earlier boats – and if navigating the waters wasn’t tough enough they also had to contend with the most famous ghost ship in maritime history.
Legend has it that in the mid-17 th century a Dutch trader, Der Fliegende Hollander – The Flying Dutchman, – ran into trouble while rounding the Cape. It now sails the seas in search of other ships to take messages home to their loved ones.
