Legend of the ship the Flying Dutchman

For centuries, the legend of the Flying Dutchman has captured the imagination. The story tells how the shadows of the damned, the ship, and its crew are doomed to wander the world’s oceans for eternity without ever reaching land, all because of their captain. Fateful decision to sail in fatal seas. The legend has inspired the imagination of playwrights, poets, and painters. It has even become a feature of the popular “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, where the ship is known simply as the Dutchman and sails under the command of the fictional captain, Davy Jones.
