The Flying Dutchman origins

The Flying Dutchman origins

The Flying Dutchman is a ghost ship captained by the stubborn Captain Van der Decken, who cursed himself and his crew to sail the seas forever. They appear in storms, glowing with a strange light, warning sailors of danger. One night, a young sailor named Jack sees the ghost ship and prepares his crew for a big storm, which they survive thanks to the warning.
