A RUSTY ghost ship has been discovered floating totally abandoned off the coast of Myanmar.

Longest sailing ghost ship. 342 m 1122 ft 364767 DWT. The 177m-long container ship named Sam Ratulangi PB. SS Waratah and its 211 crew and passengers were last heard from on 27 July 1909.

For over 200 years there have been reports of a Ghost Ship that has been seen sailing the waters of the Northumberland Strait which lies between Nova Scotia New Brunswick and Prince Edward IslandIt has been described as a beautiful schooner that has three masts which become completely engulfed in flames as onlookers watch. Its more than likely that the once unsinkable ghost ship now lies somewhere in the cold muddy bottom of the Arctic Ocean. 2011 In service As of 2018 there are five different ship designs that are referred to as Valemax ships.

The myth is likely to have originated from the 17th-century Golden Age of the Dutch East India Company VOC and Dutch maritime power. The last entry in her log was dated ten. If it is known that the ship in question sank then its wreck has not yet been located.

According to the legend if hailed by another ship the crew of the Flying Dutchman. The Canadian brigantine Dei Gratia found her in a dishevelled but seaworthy condition under partial sail and with her lifeboat missing. Assuming that the Baychimo had sunk shortly after her last sighting it still makes her one of the longest sailing ghost ships in the world.

Ships rarely survive for so long unmanned especially among the crushing ice packs. I do remember reading about one particular sailing ship Moshulu now a floating restaurant in the US. This is a list of missing ships and wrecks.
